Recorded live at Ralph's 'Hills Of Home' festival 26th - 29th May 1983, this is quite an eclectic mix.
On the one hand, there's Ralph's performances of Swinging A Nine Pound Hammer and Act Naturally which haven't been recorded elsewhere; and there's the 15 second I Ain't Wost (an excerpt from How Far To Little Rock) which marks Ralph II recording debut at the tender age of 4. Then there's a eulogy to Ralph written by the Rev. Charlie Love, Mr. Stanley Sing On and The Wilson Brothers' tribute We'll Hear The Stanley's Sing Again.
There's also guest performances with Larry Sparks and Dave Evans singing with Ralph; plus a track a piece by The Boys From Indiana, The Marshall Family and Larry Sparks/Dave Evans.
I think it is also the only album by Ralph to feature Buddy Moore (Hook 'n' Beans).
Some copies featured a sticker "With Larry Sparks and Dave Evans".
The album hasn't been reissued on CD.
- Ralph Stanley: banjo, vocals
- Junior Blankenship: lead guitar
