Music For A Funeral


In the superb documentary, High Lonesome: The Story Of Bluegrass Music, Ralph Stanley sings a bit of this by himself. As you might expect, it is stark, spooky, autumnal. Strangely enough, this version, with it's trio harmonies, only serves to intensify those effects.

Music for a funeral from Ralph Stanley and The Clinch Mountain Boys, with "Village Church Yard".
