Hwy 40 Blues was the first album I ever had. I loved Ricky Skaggs so much my older brother bought me his album back in 1983 as a surprise gift with money he earned picking watermelons for a local farmer. I have never forgotten that. My brother passed away back in 2003.
Ricky’s first album was a bluegrass album released in 1975, then he released sweet temptation in 1979. I still need to research if George Strait really did release “Unwound” in 1980.
There will never be a more soothing voice as this. True country in all its sense. The feeling makes a story in my head that says something great will never be born again as this. What a feeling. God bless u Ricky thank u fr putting a smile on our faces.
I ABSOLUTELY love Ricky also , l am now 72 years old. He is my favourite American Country music singer still alive, after the late great Waylon Jennings. My absolute GENIUS and a true LEGEND and gentleman. RIP Hoss ELIZABETH over in SCOTLAND but IRISH through and through, and so very proud of my lrish roots and lreland. ☺☺☺☺☺
Country WAS headed in the right direction back then. Musicians like Ricky, Patty Loveless, Dwight Yoakam, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss are big time talents who were getting radio airplay back in the day. About 10-20 years ago, give or take a few... the corporations gave up on Alan, Patty, Ricky, Dwight, etc.. (None of them needed radio in the long run). Something went horribly wrong. Thank the Lord they didn't sell their souls to make anything like what we're hearing now!! Country is gone and it started way back, with the likes of (the talented), Chet Atkins!!

Loved this song ever since I was a kid. My favorite part of the song I sang was - "Each night I climb the stairs up to my room" on my way to bed. In fact now I'm an adult - I still do.

My old aunt Alice was a great lover of Ricky Skegg's songs. She passed on some years back. My husband shares this interest and loves the 50s and 60s too. Good old times 👍❤
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face......
And THAT is why I will always say that the best three decades, for country music, were the 70's, 80's & 90's. The " Forever Country" mashup song showcased three masterpieces of the first two of those.
In my thinking, it was from the mid/late 1950's through the mid/late 1980's.... went down hill from there, with the exceptions of George Strait, Alan Jackson, and a very few others.
I picked up an old vhs tape of Ricky Skaggs live in london from back in 1986! Tape still good as new! We saw him last year at the grand ole opre. He picked on his wife a little that night for some reason , cant remember why but this tape reminds me of some of his great music!

These were the days & hopefully they will come again, but I doubt it. This is a Country Song & it tells a story. It's not Hip Hop, RAP, Horseshit, Heavy Metal or anything else, but Country. & it will be played for the next few hundred years. The stuff played on Radio today, won't be played again next month & maybe never again, EVER. That speaks volumes about it's real worth... Enjoy a real song, folks, for as long as you can...
Scotty, you just killed this one! You have a great voice and have so much emotion in your delivery. You are a 🌟!! Loved you since I saw your audition on Idol, Scotty. You definitely deserved the win! 🤩

Ricky and I are the same age and time has changed our appearance greatly but unlike me Ricky will never be forgotten due to his beautiful God given talent. We have grown old together and I have been his fan all along his amazing musical journey. Long live Ricky's music it is some of the best.
Still enjoy this greatest Hit song. Back then was cassette tape, play over and over and over again. On my way home. Got see him in 1990 lots great memories lane: their times I try not my Hearring loss but enjoy listening to him with my new Hearring aids clear sound . Thanks Ricky Skaggs and The band . Enjoy all his music. My Father Love his Music. Once he heard song on the radio stations. Pure country music sound. My dad was once truck driver and few my uncles.

Sorry for your loss..
One of the best memories ever….
Grew up a redneck tomboy and loved these songs.
Hello Cindy,how are you doing?🌹🌹
It doesn't get any better than this. Great job on the fiddle bobby hicks
Most definitely but that steel guitar sounds pretty good too.
Ricky skaggs literally saved country music in the 80s. He brought great players and great songs back to the genre.
And, Randy Tavis!
he's my third cousin!
No, George Strait was there all along
Ricky’s first album was a bluegrass album released in 1975, then he released sweet temptation in 1979. I still need to research if George Strait really did release “Unwound” in 1980.
Nothing and I mean nothing beats good ole Country Music!
I agree 100%---so glad we are able to hear on here. The radio sure doesn't do it anymore.
NOTHING
Absolutely
Agreed.❤❤❤
😢
A true classic Country/Bluegrass song 🎵 🎸 🎤
Back when people could actually sing, it’ll never be this good again
Agree 👍
No doubt.
@@kaminator515DON'T BE TO HEARTY SON EH!.😂😂😂
we were blessed to see these days, not only the best of Country but Rock too...glory days
It's so sad but true.😢
Ricky was my gateway drug into country music.
Now THIS is country music. I have big respects for the genre when Ricky sings it. Skaggs is a true legend.
That's my cousin
This is my favorite song

Nice rendition of an old one by Ricky and musicians.
This is how Country music should sound.
