Recorded live at the Charlotte Bluegrass Festival, 25-27th June 1982.
This album has a generous play time of over 60mins... which is pretty unusual for a bluegrass LP.
There is plenty of interest to Stanley fans, with two cuts by The Wilson Brothers, four by Larry Sparks and five by the Clinch Mountain Boys. The Stanley Medley consists of Little Maggie - Pretty Polly... I'm not sure what Curly's Special is yet... so many fiddle tunes, so little time!
- Ralph Stanley: banjo, vocals
- Junior Blankenship: lead guitar
- Curly Ray Cline: fiddle
- Jack Cooke: bass
- Charlie Sizemore: guitar, vocals
