Please rate this album:

This is a Canadian reissue of ten of the twelve tracks from the Keith Whitley & Ricky Skaggs - Tribute To The Stanley Brothers LP, with Mother No Longer Awaits Me At Home and The Angels Are Singing In Heaven Tonight being omitted. The LP makes no mention of Ralph or Keith Whitley.

The track order is also different to the original release and I can't hear any improvement in sound quality from the half-speed master...

For more info see the Tribute To The Stanley Brothers entry.

Thanks to Mick Cleare for the heads-up on this one.

  • Keith Whitley: guitar, vocals
  • Ricky Skaggs: mandolin, fiddle, vocals
  • Curly Ray Cline: fiddle
