Various Artists - Live Again!

WYCB Bristol Farm & Fun Time

(Rebel REB-CD-2003) 1997

---

This is a welcome 2xCD reissue of the two 1988 Rebel LP's The Stanley Brothers On WCYB Bristol and Various Artists - Live Again! WCYB Bristol Farm & Fun Time.

Jack Tottle's liner notes for both albums are reproduced in the CD booklet, but as the original albums are split across the two CD's (i.e. both Side One's on 'Disc One', and both Side Two's on 'Disc Two'), it is a bit confusing if reading the notes whilst playing the album at the same time. No doubt the running order was chosen to give a more even distribution of the Stanley Brothers material.

See the original release notes for more info.

• Carter Stanley: guitar, vocal
• Ralph Stanley: banjo, vocal
• Leslie Keith: fiddle (a)
• Pee Wee Lambert: mandolin
• Ray Lambert: bass (a)
• Bobby Sumner: fiddle (b)

NB: (a) Disc 1 tracks 1-9 and Disc 2 tracks 1-9. (b) Disc 2 Tracks 18-22.

For more detailed breakdown and background to these recordings, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 10-13, 17-18, 25-26 and 36-37.
