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.

 

For detailed information on these songs / sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book. For page references, see the Original Release entries.
