Clinch Mountain Echo

This is just a quick, temporary, listing of the Clinch Mountain Boy alumni, not including all of the session musicians. I'm aiming to add additonal information/discographies on individual members, but for the Stanley Brothers era, Gary B. Reid's book "The Music Of The Stanley Brothers" gives a definitive listing and biographical details. Any additional info presented here will likely be restricted to other non Stanley Brothers recordings.

For the post-Carter era, I hope to add more extensive information...
