I used to do HVAC work with this older dude named Leonard. He loved Ricky Skaggs and we used to listen to a live album of theirs all the time. It was incredible. We were completely different types of people, he was hyper religious and very conservative but we loved to listen to Skaggs.
I’ve seen Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder live twice. Hands down the tightest band I have ever seen live! Just top level musicians…every one of them! Harmonies are just as good…and no auto tune.
Man! Ricky Skaggs is The Best!! I saw Ricky many years ago in Birmingham, Ala. What a Great Show. I went out and bought all his CDs. He sincerely loves Bluegrass. Thank You, Ricky!!❤❤😅😊
0:09 How Mountain Girls Can Love 2:31 Appalachian Joy (Instrumental) 5:53 On A Lonesome Night 12:15 Bayfield (Instrumental) 15:42 Highway 40 Blues 18:53 Uncle Pen 21:34 Pig In A Pen 27:32 Rank Stranger 30:46 Bluegrass Breakdown (Instrumental) 53:34 Black Eyed Suzie
The instrumental at 12:15 is actually entitled Crossville. Ricky was traveling up interstate 40 on the bus, getting some ideas for an instrumental. When they came into Crossville Tennessee the tune came to him.
Big round of applause for the band-Mike Barnett on fiddle, Jake Workman on guitar, Darrin Vincent on vocals and archtop guitar, Paul Brewster on vocals and guitar, Russ Carson on banjo and I’m not sure who the bass player is. Some of the best pickers around. Jake Workman is a total beast!!
@Ricky Skaggs been a fan since I was a middle schooler in the 80's. seen you on the grand ole opry on the television. great to see a reply from you. :D
It would have been great to actually see the great Fiddler, playing for Ricky! I guess the filming crew just decided a Fiddle is too Country? So we wont show him. Gesh hell
Ya think?? Totally pisses me off, since that is my nephew, who has since suffered a huge brain hemorrhage. He was the best, and no one pays any attention!!
@@diannebarnett3195 Sorry bout your nephew. Sure hope he's OK. Just to be in Ricky's band you better be one heck of a fiddle player which he is! 31:18 WOW
@@t3hl1z4rdk1n6 Thank you. I worry most about his dad - my bro. He's despondent and seriously depressed. I'm so glad Mike has his lovely wife to support him through this.
@@diannebarnett3195 I am so sorry to hear that. he is so talented! Is there a chance he can regain his ability with rehab? I hope so. I will be praying for his recovery. God can do miracles! Your nephew looks so young, and as long as he is alive there is HOPE. God bless you all.
@@diannebarnett3195 Oh wow!! I met him in 2018. I am a huge fan of his work and he is one of the reasons I plan to pursue fiddle professionally. Such a heartbreak what happened in 2020. I hope he’s doing well these days.
Once again, we have tone-deaf video directors who can't find lead instruments, let alone cutting out the fiddle player....Ricky, anytime you need someone with ears to direct your video's, let me know.
Such a shame about cutting him out, Mike Barnett- the fiddle player in the video suffered a brain aneurysm in 2020 and will never fully recover to play again.
