Product description NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE .com "Country rocks ... but bluegrass rules." If Ricky Skaggs was looking for a manifesto for his long-awaited bluegrass comeback, he couldn't have done much better than this disc's five-second preamble. Contractually barred from recording bluegrass for more than 12 years, Skaggs has obviously been champing at the bit. After the aforementioned introduction, he promptly unleashes an instrumental "Get Up John" that still has smoke wafting from my CD player. Dandy versions of "Little Maggie," "If I Lose," and "Rank Stranger" follow, to single out just a few. The musicianship here is uniformly superb, especially Skaggs's own mandolin playing, the guitar work of Bryan Sutton, Bobby Hicks's fiddling, and even a nice guest turn from Jerry Douglas. If there's any justice, the commercial success of Bluegrass Rules will send a strong message to record companies: Bluegrass music can and does sell records, especially when it's as flawlessly executed as Skaggs's latest. Let's just hope we don't have to wait as long for the next one. --Mary Park

It's great to see true musicians doing justice to themselves and ...
Ricky Skaggs is an American Bluegrass purist. Continuing on the Bluegrass tradition and exporting it across the seas to my grateful homeland Australia. It's great to see true musicians doing justice to themselves and the sound that comes from within us country folk, no matter what side of the world we're on. Bluegrass, invariably, Rules, in the country towns and folk that keep Australian's heartland beating.

One of my favorites . . .
. . . one of Skaggs' best albums, IMHO. The first cut alone is worth the price of admission. This is hardcore bluegrass featuring several Monroe and Stanley Brother covers. It may be a little much for the uninitiated, but stick with it. You will grow to love it.

Traditionnel revisité
Des instrumentistes époustouflants dans un répertoire traditionnel servi par un son remarquable. Ricky Skaggs fidèle à ses premières amours avec un groupe soudé derrière lui.
