Album Description

Originally released in 1981 & 1982 on the Epic record label and now appearing for the first time as this 2-on-1 CD. Two number 1 hits came out of his 1981 album 'Waitin' For The Sun To Shine', and the awards started arriving. Ricky Skaggs is largely responsible for a back-to-basics movement in country music. Waitin' For The Sun To Shine was Ricky's first album to be released after signing to the Epic Record label and brought him into the mainstream. The album has a straightforward mountain approach with one of the best songs being the title track, recently covered by Lee Ann Womack on her There's More Where That Came From LP. On 1982's Highways & Heartaches, Skaggs developed his bluegrass roots with new traditionalist sensibilities and catchy pop tunes, making this album one of his best. Four of the tracks, 'Heartbroke', 'You've Got A Lover', 'I Wouldn't Change You If I Could' & 'Highway 40 Blues', were chart-toppers. The remainder of the decade found Skaggs often at the top of both the country single and album charts. Includes full sleeve notes by John Tobler. 19 total tracks. Gottdiscs. 2005.

Ricky still holds up his quality stamp on this CD , but this is right there in middle quality wise........2006-01-10

There are some slow starters to get you in the right "Skaggs" mood here, but on this one is the ballads who does it like the title track Track 5 Waitin for the sun to shine.
On the uptempo songs he`s not up to his usual standard. There`s something missing there when you compare to CD `s like Kentucky thunder and other`s of his earlier CD`s. It`s very traditional sometimes, and you think that you have heard some of the stuff on other CD`s. In other word`s he repeat himself to much musicalwise. But anyway. A Ricky Skagg`s CD always deliver quality Bluegrass and Country music, but it`s not up there with his earlier stuff, sorry to say.
More as Track 2 Don`t get above your raising, anyway lifts the quality.
