   (Wall Street Journal) - Ralph Stanley, the hillbilly (his   
   term) musician best known for his 2002 Grammy-winning   
   rendition of "O Death" in the Coen brothers movie "O   
   Brother Where Art Thou?," may be 82 years old and play   
   songs nearly as ancient as the southwest Virginia hills   
   where he was born (and still lives). But after all these   
   years his tongue is still sharp, as he shows in "Man of   
   Constant Sorrow," (Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/ManSorrow ) a   
   memoir that may send some cowboy hats spinning along   
   Nashville's Music Row. Dr. Stanley, as he likes to be known   
   — the doctorate is honorary, from Lincoln Memorial   
   University in Harrogate, Tenn. — dispenses a few lashes   
   along with his rollicking account of 60 years as a banjo-   
   picking bluegrass performer, though none will do lasting   
   harm..
