hehehe- my kid's ancestral music gene is kicking in- she came down to tell me about the game series she's been watching a let's play of and this one song was just really really good she liked it so much but it sounded kind of familiar and she started humming it
and I'm like, "oh sure, Ralph Stanley, you've been hearing that one all your life." and i get the patented 17 year old "no mother how dare you suggest i might like something bluegrass" stare
And i pull it up on youtube as she pulls up the metal version of it from the game.
SUCH BETRAYAL lol "toldya, eventually we all succumb to 'but bluegrass is pretty fucking punk' kid. it's in your bones like the hypermobility and the cornbread"

From 1977, Ralph Stanley and Keith Whitley performing "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem”. ______________________ Beautiful Star of Bethlehem Music by R. Fisher Boyce; Lyrics by Adger Pace
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem Shining afar through shadows dim Giving the light to those who long have gone Guiding the Wise Men on their way Unto the place where Jesus lay Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Oh Beautiful Star (Beautiful, Beautiful Star) Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem) Shine upon us until the glory dawns Give us the light to light the way Unto the land of perfect day Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Beautiful Star the hope of light Guiding the pilgrims through the night Over the mountains 'til the break of dawn Into the light of perfect day It will give out a lovely ray Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Oh Beautiful Star (Beautiful, Beautiful Star) Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem) Shine upon us until the glory dawns Give us the light to light the way Unto the land of perfect day Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Beautiful Star the hope of rest For the redeemed, the good and the blessed Yonder in glory when the crown is won Jesus is now that star divine Brighter and brighter He will shine Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on
Oh Beautiful Star (Beautiful, Beautiful Star) Of Bethlehem (Star of Bethlehem) Shine upon us until the glory dawns Give us the light to light the way Unto the land of perfect day Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on

Song Review: The Devil Makes Three - “I Am the Man Thomas” (Live)
The Devil Makes Three channel Ralph Stanley channeling Jesus on their version of “I Am the Man Thomas.”
Captured at the 2023 FreshGrass festival in Massachusetts, the resulting video finds the band playing as a quartet - fiddle, banjo, acoustic guitar and double bass - and infusing bluegrass with punk as they sing:
I am the Man, Thomas, I am the Man/look at these nail scars here in my hands
Dr. Stanley probably wouldn’t know what to make of the Devil Makes Three’s treatment of his song. But it’s clearly done out of reverence and, anyway, music would be dull if it didn’t evolve.
Grade card: The Devil Makes Three - “I Am the Man Thomas” (Live) - B-
