Ralph Stanley - A Distant Land To Roam

On this release, Ralph Stanley presents a collection of songs made popular by one of the most influential groups in American music history, the Carter Family. Often referred to as "the first family of country music," the Carter Family began recording in 1927 and created a sound that laid the foundation for country, folk and bluegrass music. Now, bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley pays tribute to the family that started it all.
