Please rate this album:

This is a cassette compilation, with just eight tracks... It's probably worth mentioning, however, because one track Dine-e-o is in all likely-hood not by The Stanley Brothers... It's more likely to be the fiddle tune recorded by Jim Eanes for Starday.[1]

Nowadays the Starday/King material by The Stanley Brothers is best found on The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965 4xCD box sets.
