Ralph Stanley is in Hospital After Suffering from a Serious Fall
Bluegrass and Gospel music veteran Ralph Stanley is in the hospital, but recovering well, after a recent serious fall. Stanley suffered a cracked pelvis in the fall. Bluegrass Today reports that he was admitted to a hospital on Saturday (Sept. 26) and required minor surgery at that time, but he is doing well and is expected to be released from the hospital later this week.
"He is doing well; doctors expect a full recovery. He will be released from [the] hospital [on] Thursday or Friday of this week," Stanley's grandson, Nathan Stanley, tells Bluegrass Today. "We appreciate all the prayers. The Good Lord has his hands upon my papaw."
Earlier this year, Stanley released a new collection Man of Constant Sorrow: Ralph Stanley & Friends, via Cracker Barrel Family Restaurant. The singer told Billboard that he's very humbled to be working with the Lebanon, Tenn.-based restaurant chain.
"I like Cracker Barrel," Stanley said. "I'm honored to be working with them and honored that they chose to put out a record with me. I think it's a great combination with their great old country cooking and my old-time mountain music. It works perfect, because a lot of our fans visit Cracker Barrel and eat there. We're both old-timey, so it just works together really well."
"It was very easy getting people to participate on this CD because of everybody loving my papaw's music," Nathan said. "What ended up being so great about this project is that we had very little time to get it all together. So a lot of the credit goes to Jim Lauderdale and Buddy Miller-- who produced the record -- in getting all the artists together, making everything work as far as scheduling goes, and also Ken Levitan -- our manager -- and everybody at Vector Management. They just did a wonderful job at putting everything together. Of course, we had a wish list of who we'd like to have on the album. If we could have had another two months to work on it, we might could have had another album completed with all the artists. We were never turned down once."
"God has had his hand on my career for the past 68 years. It's up to him when I will quit," Stanley says. "I have no plans of slowing down. I love my fans, and I love performing."
