This is a rare and collectible gospel bluegrass treasure: Clinch Mountain Gospel by Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys, released in 1977 on Rebel Records (SLP 1571). Even more special, this LP jacket is signed on the front cover by Jack Cooke, the legendary bassist and longtime member of the Clinch Mountain Boys.
