Great Older Ricky Skaggs Music -- I DEDICATE THE SONG "THANKS AGAIN", TO ALL THE GREAT PARENTS IN THE WORLD. I GUESS RICKY MADE THE SONG FOR HIS PARENTS. (BUT)LIKE I SAY THE SONG IS FOR ALL PARENTS WHO DO SO MUCH FOR THEIR CHILDREN. Thanks Again Is My Favorite -- Thanks Again is so good that we had that song played at our wedding for our parents song. the rest of that album is great too. Traditional Country Album From 1988 -- Ricky's roots are in bluegrass, but he was not allowed to record bluegrass music while he was on a major label. During that period (the eighties and early nineties), Ricky recorded a series of traditional country albums, just occasionally hinting at bluegrass. This album is fairly typical of them, mixing original songs with covers of old country and bluegrass songs. The overall mood of the album is upbeat. The covers include I'm tired (three co-writers include Mel Tillis and Ray Price), Hold whatcha got (Jimmy Martin), If you don't believe the bible (written by Carl Jackson and Glenn Sutton) and San Antonio Rose (Bob Willis). The latter track has a very long intro and a very long instrumental break in the middle, so the musicians get plenty of chance to show their skills. The original songs include a superb duet with Sharon White (Mrs Skaggs) titled Home is wherever you are. Sharon can also be heard on some other tracks. Of course, if you really enjoy hearing Sharon, you should buy a Whites album. Another great original song (written by Paul Overstreet) is Old kind of love, which is about people being faithful to each other and families pulling together. I rather think the sentiments expressed in the song are wishful thinking although the world would be a better place if the song reflected reality. This is a great Ricky Skaggs album although he was well past his commercial peak by then. If you enjoy Ricky's country music and want more than just the hits, do not overlook this album.
