Our Take

Ralph Stanley's latest release, "A Mother's Prayer," is like taking a time machine back to the roots of bluegrass music. With his signature banjo twang and soulful vocals, Stanley delivers a collection of heart-wrenching tunes that will have you tapping your toes and wiping away a tear.

The album kicks off with the haunting title track, where Stanley's plaintive voice cuts straight to the core. From there, we are treated to a mix of original compositions and traditional songs that showcase Stanley's mastery of the genre. Tracks like "Wayfaring Stranger" and "I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)" are pure bluegrass bliss, with tight harmonies and nimble picking that will leave you in awe.

But what truly sets "A Mother's Prayer" apart is Stanley's ability to inject a sense of humour into even the most melancholic of tunes. Songs like "Hard Times Come Again No More" and "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep" are delivered with a twinkle in Stanley's eye, reminding us that even in tough times, there is always room for a good laugh.

Overall, "A Mother's Prayer" is a testament to Ralph Stanley's enduring talent and influence in the world of bluegrass music. With each track, he proves that he is still a force to be reckoned with, charming audiences with his music and leaving us all with a smile on our faces. Grab your banjo and get ready to be swept away by the master himself.
