Ralph Stanley Playing Clinch Mountain Backstep


Oh, man, I love this song. I think Boing Boing had linked to it a little while back.

I grew up listening to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's version, off the Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy LP. There's another short clip on YouTube of Steve Sparkman , Ralph Stanley's banjo player playing it. His bell-like tone is outstanding.

BTW, it made me very happy to hear that the good Doctor made a radio ad for Obama. One week to go. YEE HAW!
