Solo: Songs My Dad Loved

2009 release, the first ever 'solo' album from Ricky Skaggs. No studio musicians. No guest artists. Just Ricky Skaggs doing what Ricky Skaggs does best. Highly regarded as an award winning Country and Bluegrass music master, Skaggs is legendary for bringing renewed hope and vitality to the Country music mainstream in the early 1980's with scores of #1 hits and numerous awards and for his triumphant return to his first love, bluegrass, with his successful Skaggs Family Records label. But the true story behind his remarkable career can be traced back to the first music he remembers hearing: the songs his dad loved. From a child prodigy to one of today's musical heroes, Ricky Skaggs continues to inspire his audiences with the heritage and the history of the old time songs embedded deep in his soul by his father.
