Bound to Ride: Vintage Mountain Bluegrass, released by Rebel Records in 1991, gathers Ralph Stanley material from across his Rebel and Clinch Mountain Boys catalog — the kind of compilation Rebel had been steadily producing through the late 1980s and 1990s to keep his classic post-Carter material in print. The selections lean into the traditional mountain-bluegrass repertoire that had defined Stanley's reputation through the long stretch after the Stanley Brothers partnership ended in 1966. Compilations like this kept Stanley's catalog accessible to bluegrass audiences who had been following him for decades, even as his late-1990s O Brother, Where Art Thou? renaissance still lay ahead.
