Ricky Skaggs first-ever solo album, Ricky Skaggs Solo (SONGS MY DAD LOVED), is exactly what the title implies. Ricky Skaggs solo. 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 1980s 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.
