wow!
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: This has not left my CD player since I purchased it. I know it was done a few years back; but, it is definately worth every single penny. Ricky Skaggs is just amazingly talented.
wow.

Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: this is one of those bluegrass albums. you cant be without, i love everysong from this album not a bad one at all. bluegrass albums are my favorites by him i was raised on bluegrass music. and i know alot about ricky skaggs, from my dad who is also a mandolin picker and singer and he had the great joy of meeting ricky's sister at a studio once... would love to meet the man himself someday if your a bluesgrass or a rickyskaggs fan then get the album you'll be glad you did.
Pretty good, certainly not their best
Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: but the band is tight and sounding as good as ever. The material (selections) is a bit weak overall and the first and last cut add nothing. The length is disappointing at 35m er so. Their LIVE at the Charleston Music Hall and Brand New Strings are both much better efforts. The LIVE album is particularly good and even more surprising that it's a LIVE album to begin with. You can feel their energy in that...that's one of the things missing here. Still a good listen but look for a discount on it (I got it for under $10 on the music streamer I use) as the length and a $15+ price tag would have wound me up. ;-) ...enjoy...Dave
Not for the faint of heart

Review Comments: This is an exceptional CD. The instrumental talent and Ricky Skagg's one of a kind voice makes this a must have CD for anyone who enjoys BlueGrass. For anyone new to BlueGrass this is an excellent example of the genre. Find somewhere comfortable to sit with a nice breeze and just lean back and listen. If there was a school where the new pop singers of country(and I use that term country loosely for the new generation)could learn about country's roots. Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder would be the schools masters and this CD the book to read from.
