The Stanley Brothers - Sweeter Than The Flowers

(Nashville NLP-2078) Apr 1970

---

This is a ten-track compilation on the budget Starday-King subsidiary.

It's a bit of a mixed bag, with half of the tracks also appearing on the How Far To Little Rock compilation that was released the previous year.

The album features the full version of Stone Walls And Steel Bars, rather than the faded ending (which is found on the Country Folk Music Spotlight and How Far To Little Rock albums.

Today, probably the best way to get all the King/Starday material is on the excellent The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965 4xCD sets...
