As Ralph II has taken on the mantle of the Clinch Mountain Boys, I've separated out this discography from the main CMB section.

Downloads of his latest single's (Winds Of Change, Glendale Train and Back To Virginia) can also be found at the RBR Entertainment site.

For up to date info, concert dates, etc on Ralph II and the 'next generation' of the CMBs, visit: ralph2.com.

There may have been another unreleased album recorded between [10] and [12]. I remember seeing an interview with Ralph II on youtube in 2016, a couple of months or so before his father died, and I'm sure he mentioned that there was a new album which the record company hadn't released and was hopefully coming out soon.... but I can no longer find the clip.
