Ralph Stanley - Long Journey Home / Going Down Town

(Jalyn 45-323) c1967


Long Journey Home

This 7" was recorded at the Aug. 1967 sessions Ralph recorded at Jack Lynch's home studio in Dayton Ohio.[1]

I think it may have preceded the release of the Old Time Music album, as some copies have labels crediting The Stanley Brothers... and that somehow would seem to be even worse, if it had been released with that credit after the album.

It includes the same unadulterated mono mix of the songs, as found on the 'Cream' cover version of Old Time Music.

  • Ralph Stanley: banjo, vocals
  • Curly Ray Cline: fiddle
  • Melvin Goins: guitar
  • Curly Lambert: mandolin
  • Jack Lynch: bass
  • Larry Sparks: guitar, vocals
