The most haunting voice I've ever heard.

I confess I've never heard of him, but I very much liked that.

My parents have had the habit of seeing at least one Grand Ole Opry show a year the past 30+ years.  I've gotten to see Dr. Stanley 3 or 4 times in person.  Getting to hear him do "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "O, Death" not long after the release of "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?" was a good experience.

Listening to "Little Maggie", I wondered if he had anything to do with the music in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou". It sounded similar. I guess that answers that.

"O, Death" is an incredible song sung when sung by Stanley. 

Originally intended to be a banjo piece, Stanley convinced the producer to go with the a cappella version on the sound track.
