Lonesome & Then Some-Classic 50th - CD

He is known for his fine voice, his unique bluesy style of guitar picking and his uncanny knack for finding great material. On this new recording that marks a significant milestone in Larry's career, he is joined by as number of wonderful artists who are all keystone members of the Bluegrass community: Alison Krauss, Bobby Osborne, Jesse McReynolds, Curly Seckler, Judy Marshall and of course Dr. Ralph Stanley himself. A previously unissued live recording of Larry and Bill Monroe singing 'In the Pines' is also a feature. It's a fitting tribute to one of the true greats of Bluegrass music!
