Another recent CD for me is Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys' O Bluegrass Celebration. It's a 10-track budget compilation. I got it because I needed one of the songs on here for some work. I have no idea from where these recordings were drawn because there're basically no liner notes at all. Still, it's good to have an introduction of some sort to Stanley, a bluegrass legend whose work I never really knew. I know next to nothing about the genre, so I can't really comment, but it wasn't a bad listen. Just under a half hour of music here, so for very casual bluegrass fans like myself, this is enough to indulge a hankering and not enough to overwhelm. For serious fans, it wouldn't be any good, but then, serious fans likely wouldn't be looking at compilations this small or this cheap.
