“Well, I don't let anyone record with me that is not a fan of mine or believe in my music. Everybody that records for me, from Bob Dylan on down to George Jones, everybody loves me and my music, and I knew they would do their best that they could do, and they did. I didn't doubt them a bit. There's some country people that I wouldn't want, which didn't record with me.” PeopleWantBelieveWellsCountryBitsDoubtRecordsFansMinesBobDylanGeorge Jones Author:Ralph Stanley
“My father was a logger. He cut timber and hauled it out of the woods and had a sawmill. They sawed it into lumber. And, you know, the mines needed things they call timbers and collars and so forth, and they used collars on the railroad track that they put the rails on. And he - that was his occupation, just a sawmill man and a logger.” KnowsMenUsedFatherCuttingMinesNeededTrackWoodsOccupationCollarsRailRailroadsTimberLumberRailroad Tracks Author:Ralph Stanley
“I think Bob [Dylan] told me that he turned down twenty interviews that year, and I was the only one that he sat down and did an interview with. And, he said that it was one of his highlights, and it was one of my highlights. And, I was very glad to talk with Bob. I found out that he was a good fan of mine, and that tickled me.” ThinkingYearsSaidFoundFansMinesTwentiesDown AndGladSatInterviewsBobDylanHighlightsTurned Down Author:Ralph Stanley
