ANNOUNCEMENT: The new Ralph Stanley II CD is finally here! This One Is Two (a reference to Stanley’s nickname) showcases 11 emotionally probing songs by the best writers in the business, among them Lyle Lovett, Townes Van Zandt, Fred Eaglesmith, Tom T. and Dixie Hall and Elton John. Stanley co-wrote two of the songs: “Honky Tonk Way,” a tough, grimy, up-close look at a country singer’s life on the road, and “Lord Help Me Find The Way,” a cry from the heart he composed when he was suddenly forced to stand in for his famous father.
A particular jewel in this musical treasure chest is “Carter,” Fred Eaglesmith’s mournful valedictory to Stanley’s uncle, the late Carter Stanley of Stanley Brothers fame. In “Cold Shoulder,” Stanley immerses himself in the mind and heart of a lonely trucker who’s snowbound at night miles away from his lover. He resurrects Lyle Lovett’s chilling murder saga, “L. A. County,” a song he refers to as “my ‘Pretty Polly.’”
Stanley turned to ace storyteller Tom T. Hall for the album’s first single, the high-velocity, relentlessly clacking “Train Songs.” From Elton John he borrows the lyrical and sun-loving “Georgia.” Songwriter Elmer C. Burchett Jr. brought Stanley the sweetest “mother” song of recent memory, “Moms Are The Reason Wild Flowers Grow.”
