The Stanley Brothers on the record

Gary B. Reid’s introduction to the Stanley Brothers was a used record he picked up for 33 cents in 1973. That modest investment launched Reid on an odyssey that would culminate in “what just might be the definitive history of the legendary bluegrass musicians.”

Reid’s The Music of the Stanley Brothers corrects some myths and sets record straight for the recorded career of Ralph and Carter Stanley.

The author was profiled on Roanoke, Virginia’s WDBJ 7.
