Ricky Skaggs -- a true Country performer, great Country and Bluegrass
sounding songs, and 11 #1 Country songs to his name. They're all here on his
two-disc set, Country Gentleman: The Best Of Ricky Skaggs.
My first discovery of Mr. Skaggs' music was hearing some of his popular #1
songs, such a "Heartbroke" and "Highway 40 Blues." After learning
he had 11 #1 Country hits, his remaining chart toppers have all equaled the
brillance of traditional Country/Bluegrass sounds.
All 11 #1's are here: "Crying My Heart Over You" (1982), "I Don't
Care" (1982; the Webb Pierce remake, which also hit #1), "Heartbroke,"
(1982), "I Wouldn't Change You If I Could," (1983), "Highway 40
Blues," (1983), "Don't Cheat In Our Hometown," (1984), "Honey
(Open That Door)" (1984), "Uncle Pen," (1984), "Country Boy,"
(1985), "Cajun Moon," (1986), "Lovin' Only Me," (1989).
The remaining non-Number Ones are truly exceptional in the styles of
Country and Bluegrass. The first disc mostly has his #1's and more. All of
the songs in this compilation are standouts. Likewise, for true Bluegrass
fans, especially of the movie soundtrack of O Brother Where Art Thou,
an introduction (or well-known) to Ricky Skaggs' music will truly be
entertaining to listen to.
Ricky Skaggs' is truly a Country/Bluegrass Legend. His Country
Gentleman Best Of is an excellent compilation of his music, for old and
new Country fans alike.
