The Country Folk Music Spotlight finds the Stanley Brothers and the Clinch Mountain Boys in 1963, working through a program that blends their characteristic Appalachian sound with material drawn from the broader country and folk repertoire. By the early 1960s the Stanleys had been recording for more than fifteen years and had established a distinctive sound built on Ralph's high baritone, Carter's warm lead tenor, and the tight, modal ensemble playing of the Clinch Mountain Boys. "Don't Step Over an Old Love" is representative of the mid-tempo sentimental material the brothers recorded throughout their career alongside harder-driving numbers. The album is a competent and honest example of their work outside the King Records context where their most celebrated recordings were made.
