Ralph Stanley - Poison Love / Bill Cheatum

(King Bluegrass 730412) 1973


Poison Love

This 7" was taken from Ralph's The Stanley Sound Around The World album.

Poison Love had been a hit for Johnny & Jack in 1951 reaching No. 4 in the US Country charts.[1] You can also find them performing the song on youtube.

The flipside, Bill Cheatum, is very much a showcase piece for Ricky Lee, who also performed it on the Live At The Smithsonian Institution recording and on the 1996 Clinch Mountain Boys Reunion CD/DVD.

Both sides of the single can be found on the Rebel 1971 - 1973 4xCD box set.

  • Ralph Stanley: banjo, vocals
  • Roy Lee Centers: guitar, vocals
  • Curly Ray Cline: fiddle
  • Jack Cooke: bass
  • Ricky Lee: lead guitar
