Here's a comment posted by K.D.Daley on Del McCoury's message board:
One thing I have learned as a result of this message board is that it is good to listen to all types of music and not restrict yourself to just one certain band. I was very guilty of only listening to my favorite bands music but someone on this board (actually it was Mike Bub-Del's bass player) impressed on us that you need to listen to all types. That being said, I feel the need to share with you some info about a new CD which I have fallen in love with. It is Jeanie Stanley's Baby Girl: A Tribute to My Father Carter Stanley. I will admit that I had never found a female bluegrass musician that I enjoyed - and yes, I do have a Rhonda Vincent CD and it's good, and I have listened to my share of Alison Kraus - but this one blew me away! If you like the very old-timey type bluegrass, what I call "mountain music", I think you'll like this one. Jeanie does not have the polished voice of many singers - she definately has a twang I enjoy.(reminds me of Kitty Wells in the 50s) She sings from the heart and each song is filled with emotion. She is joined on the album by Dr. Ralph Stanley, Ralph II, and Joe Isaacs, so there is a lot of talent here. Every song is beautiful - I can't pick a favorite. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this Baby Girl CD. My only problem now is deciding each morning if I'm going to listen to Baby Girl or The Company We Keep - I love them both!!! If you do buy the Stanley album, share your thoughts with us. Thanks, DMB, for allowing us to share our views on other bluegrass groups - that's what makes you fellas #1.
