Perfectly bluegrass

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Put the chitlins on, Pa. Butter up the cornbread, I'm coming home for supper. Tell that boy Ricky to dust off his mandolin. Mercy, it's pure stuff.

Geez...this guy is INCREDIBLE!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: The hallmark of Ricky Skaggs music is flawless top shelf bluegrass taken to the absolute limits of perfection and this CD is no exception. The guy sings and plays the mandolin with effortless perfection. The old school bluegrass standards on this CD take on a fresh flavor and if you're a mandolin lover, you'll probably wear the 50,000 mile warrenty off this CD the first week.

Skaggs Offers Another Impeccable Bluegrass Album

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Skagg's latest release has a little of everything: Something old (terrific arrangment of the chestnut "Shady Grove"), something new (the instrumental tribute to his Celtic roots "The Road to Spencer"), something borrowed (a remake of his "One Way Track" from his Boone Creek days) and something blue (the tragic lost love of "Too Far Down to Fall"--complete with a bass line borrowed from "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'").

Skaggs is still one of the brightest stars in bluegrass music today and this album is a welcome addition to any fan's collection who appreciates solid picking and singing. Some critics have argued how many more renditions do we need of "Sawin' on the Strings" or "Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms." My answer is at least one more if Ricky Skaggs is involved with the project. If I had to single out one word to describe Skaggs' music, it would be "integrity." HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Wow

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: What an excellent CD! His best ever. I was captivated from the very beginning with the opening bars of "Shady Grove". Ricky and his band absolutely smoke on this cut and it sets the tone of great musicianship for the entire album. The band switches gears from smoking on "Shady Grove" to an Irish feel on the fabulous "Road to Spencer". And the thought provoking lyrics to "Half Way Home Cafe" really cut like a knife.

This CD will be one that you play over and over and is proof that even though Ricky "went country" for a number of years he did not forget how to do it. Helping his cause is the fact, that unlike many bluegrass artists, he has the money and commands the fees that allow him to hire some of the best young pickers in the business as well as being able to afford ample studio time. This can't hurt, but the final product is what counts. And this album has that great artistry and feeling that can't be bought.
