Narrator: Terry Gross

Length: 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-31-03

Publisher: WHYY-FM

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

Because Audible was not granted digital audio rights to today's issue of Fresh Air, we have selected a great interview with pioneering Bluegrass musician Ralph Stanley and music journalist and filmmaker Robert Gordon from the Fresh Air archive. Ralph Stanley's high-lonesome vocals and claw-hammer banjo picking are considered cornerstones of American bluegrass music. He and his older brother Carter were the Stanley Brothers until Carter's death in 1966. Recently Stanley came to wider popular acclaim when his music was featured on the triple platinum soundtrack of the movie O Brother Where Art Thou? He won two Grammys this year for his performance of "O Death" on the O Brother soundtrack. Robert Gordon's written a new biography of blues legend Muddy Waters who is credited with inventing electric blues and creating the template for the rock and roll band. The book is Can't Be Satisfied: The Life and Times of Muddy Waters. Gordon also produced and directed an accompanying documentary of the same name that will be shown as part of the PBS American Masters series next year. (Original Broadcast Dates: July 15, 2002 and October 3, 2002)

Publisher's Summary:

Filmmakers Peter and Bobby Farrell on this edition of Fresh Air. The two brothers have become practically the brand name for bad taste. Their movies Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, and Shallow Hal, plumbed new depths of tastelessness. But their fans love the films, and despite their gross-out humor, the Farrelly brothers seem to create characters that audiences care about. Their new film Stuck on You is about two brothers who are Siamese twins. It stars Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. It's supposedly their most autobiographical film. (Broadcast Date: December 16, 2003)
