CLINCH MOUNTAIN COUNTRY was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album.
Ralph Stanley and producer Bil VornDick assembled a small galaxy of musical stars to make CLINCH MOUNTAIN COUNTRY one of the biggest all-star bluegrass recording sessions ever. The list of performers reads as a Who's Who that stretches the gamut of American pop music, including George Jones, Bob Dylan, Marty Stuart, Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakam, BR5-49, Gillian Welch and others.
This two-disc collection of bluegrass standards is lovingly performed by artists who have clearly been influenced--even defined--by Ralph Stanley's legacy. (Many consider Stanley to be the heart of soul of bluegrass music.) There are plenty of stellar performances on CLINCH MOUNTAIN COUNTRY. Patty Loveless turns in an excellent version of the chilling, traditional murder ballad, "Pretty Polly," while Porter Wagoner offers a splendid rendition of "The White Dove," a Carter Stanley song that Wagoner first sang as a child. But perhaps the most memorable tracks on this excellent document of a bluegrass legend are "Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine" and "My Deceitful Heart," where Stanley and his son, Ralph Stanley II, share vocals.

Clinch Mountain Country Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   A Modern Day Classic.....
If you love traditional American music - If you are looking for some real "roots" music, then look no further. Clinch Mountain Country is Stanley and friends at their best. Guest artists include Bob Dylan, Dwight Yokam, Vern Gosdin, George Jones, Junior Brown, Vince Gill, Allison Kraus, the list goes on and on. A must have - most certainly worth the money.
Sincerely,
Chris
