Various Artists: Where the Soul Never Dies - Celebrating 80 Years of the Stanley Brothers CD

More than eighty years ago in southwestern Virginia, Carter and Ralph Stanley forged a sound that became a cornerstone of bluegrass and old-time music, yet they remain far less known outside the genre than their influence warrants. Where the Soul Never Dies sets out to change that, available on CD. Producers Alison Brown and Garry West assembled an eclectic cast spanning bluegrass and Americana, pairing the genre's next generation with roots voices who grew up on these songs. The Stanley Brothers were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2026.
