RALPH STANLEY - MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW: MY LIFE AND TIMES by Ralph Stanley, Eddie Dean: Now 82 and still touring, Ralph Stanley writes about his hardscrabble boyhood years in rural Virginia, abandonment by his father, the influence of folk and church music, the Stanley Brothers' live radio shows and early records, the perils of touring in the 1940s and '50s on America's back-roads, his brother Carter's fatal drinking problem and re-inventing himself as a solo act after Carter's death in 1966. Stanley gives the reader intimate glimpses of such fellow stars as Bill Monroe, A. P. Carter (of the fabled Carter Family), Porter Wagoner, George Jones, Dwight Yoakam, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and of King Records founder Syd Nathan and super producer T. Bone Burnett. Hardcover, 320 pp.
