		Stanley is clearly as baffled at the sudden attention as anyone else.
		Stanley's new self-titled album is the inaugural release on DMZ Records, a collaborative effort between O Brother filmmakers the Coen brothers, and producer T. Bone Burnett, the creative force behind the film's soundtrack.
		When working with Stanley on the album, Burnett opted to swap out the Clinch Mountain Boys and take a string-quartet approach to his music, "to think of it as classical music, to take a very intimate look at Ralph Stanley, who he is and where his music comes from," said Burnett.

		Stanley often begins the ritual opening speech at his shows with “a big old howdy” and a promise to deliver “that old-time, mountain-style, what-they-call-bluegrass music.” This bumpy formulation is an attempt to draw a fine distinction: the most revered performer in bluegrass isn’t sure that the term fits him.
		Stanley’s house is a large, elegant, one-story gray stone rambler on a gentle rise; a section of his thirty-five-acre property near the road is marked off with a gentleman farmer’s white fences.
		Stanley has small hands, and it was hard not to stare at his fingers: they curl away from the thumb, which made me wonder how he still managed to play banjo as strongly as he does.

		For Ralph Stanley, he and Burnett were inspired to record songs that were old even when Stanley first learned them.

		Stanley spoke to The Associated Press at the Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center, a restored Victorian that was once the funeral home where his late brother and musical partner, Carter, was laid out 40 years ago.

		Those are some huge shoes to fill when the father is Ralph Stanley, a bluegrass giant who simply shines on the banjo.

		Inspiration came in the form of Keith Whitley, whom the younger Stanley saw in a video that was made when Whitley sang with the Clinch Mountain Boys sometime during the 1970s.

		Perhaps one of the most unusual pairings was Stanley with one greenhorn in the recording studio, Kristi Stanley on "I'll Never Grow Tired of You." She just happens to be his daughter-in-law, married to Ralph II, who sings vocals in Ralph's band.
