Comin’ Home to Stay is a significant release in his extensive discography, representing his commitment to preserving and evolving the bluegrass and country traditions.
By the time he was in his mid-thirties, Kentuckian Ricky Skaggs had already produced a career’s worth of music. At age seven he appeared on TV with Flatt & Scruggs; at 15 he was a member of legendary Ralph Stanley’s bluegrass band (with fellow teenager Keith Whitley). None of his ’80s peers, male or female, had better musical credentials than Skaggs.
The term ‘multi-talented’ lacks the power to characterize this extraordinary singer and instrumentalist. Not only can he sing and pick with the best in progressive country, his broad and deep experience in traditional music separates him from the crowd. In the estimation of many, he is without peer as a combination vocalist and instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo). After playing with Ralph Stanley for three years,
Skaggs moved on to progressive bluegrass bands the Country Gentlemen and J.D. Crowe & the New South. With his own band, Boone Creek, he mixed the old and the new, adding Django Reinhardt. Skaggs took Rodney Crowell’s place in Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band in 1977, and the band’s excellent Roses in the Snow album showcased Skaggs’ versatility. Two number one hits came out of his 1981 album Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine, and the awards started arriving.
Skaggs is largely responsible for a back-to-basics movement in country music. He showed many that a bluegrass tenor with impeccable taste and enormous talent could sell traditional country in the ’80s, a time when pop music had invaded the land of rural rhythm.
