Stanley festival covered on CMT.com

CMT.com has a nice feature up this morning about the recently concluded Ralph Stanley Memorial Festival, the 36th annual running of the event, also known as the Hills Of Home Festival. The story largely covers the Clinch Mountain Boys reunion that took place at the festival, with former members of both Ralph’s band and a number of former Stanley Brothers band members as well joining him on the stage.

CMT.com also has audio samples from the new Stanley CD, A Distant Land to Roam: Songs of the Carter Family, up on their site.
