    I have enjoyed Bluegrass music since I was 10 years of age, I would sneak downstairs late at night ,turn on the battery radio very low so not to wake my parents, I would listen to WWVA West Virginia Bluegrass music It was just the BEST, and yes America should be proud of it and encourage it to the fullest. LK from Canada. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

    Bluegrass is the treasure U.S. has never exposed. I hope Americans will one day realize that bluegrass is their real culture and treat it with more respect, not only in Tennessee, but everywhere. Real rich, encultured and fantastic genre. Love from Italy.

    @carolynridlon3988 Před 10 měsíci +2

    I've grown up all my life with country / western music in our home. I have alot of favorites. But bluegrass was not as much in our home. 😢 When Ricky skaggs came out in the 80's with honey, country boy,... I loved his sound. Saw hin in the early 90's at the San Joaquin county fair one summer & he was smoking hot on the stage. As i grew up more, many of the songs i loved that was covered by Porter wagoner,... Were old bluegrass songs. Mind you i grew up in CA, so the Bakersfield sound, Texas swing,.. was more prevalent.
    Today, i now live in Kentucky ❤ and to have real country & bluegrass around me is the best.

      Personally I can't say ANY one group or soloist is the BEST, there's just too many examples of awesomeness out there. Union station and Rhonda Vincent and the rage are two examples that come to mind, with that being said these folks round out the Holy Trinity of bluegrass

    This brings tears to my eyes. I don't know why Ricky Skaggs & his band do that to me, but he is just magnificent. So is Paul Brewster...& everybody else. It is obvious he is loved within his band, his family & the audience, whichever clip I watch. He isn't a lot of hype, but flat out all for the music & looks like he was born standing on that stage with a mandolin in his hands.

    But I could tell what he hit was clear as a bell
    Ricky has an eye for talent
    Congratulations Ricky
    If they are giving anything to old school ,you surely deserved it ,which you do !

    As I watch this video , I am reminded of how much talent there is in the bluegrass community. Moreover , I am cognizant of the greatness of Ricky Skags and his deeply rooted love of his craft and the respect he has for fellow musicians. All great country and yes western music is rooted in bluegrass. Ricky shows us this. I believe that Ricky's talent is nurtured by his love of humanity and his creator.
    Ricky truly rocks.
