This collection was released to coincide with the release of
Joel & Ethan Coen
's film
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
, which features
Ralph Stanley
's
a cappella
rendition of
"Oh, Death"
and a number of other traditional
bluegrass
songs long associated with
Stanley
, including the immortal
"Man of Constant Sorrow."
This album brings together 13 classic tracks from the
catalog; highlights include the title track, the absolutely hair-raising
"Oh, Death,"
and a stirring version of
"I've Just Seen the Rock of Ages."
That last song, recorded in the early '70s, has never been released on CD before and features the lead singing of a very young
Keith Whitley
, who would later go on to significant success as a
country
singer. The only quibble one could make with this excellent collection is its length, which, at 33 minutes, is pretty skimpy for a best-of collection. But as an introduction to
's singular brand of mountain music, you couldn't do better than this album. ~ Rick Anderson
