Album Notes Personnel: Ricky Skaggs (acoustic guitar, resonator guitar, mandocello, fiddle, piano, percussion). Audio Mixer: Brent King. Recording information: Skaggs Place Recording Studio, Hendersonville, TN. Photographer: Erick Anderson. Up to this point in his lengthy career, multi-instrumentalist and Grammy Award-winner Ricky Skaggs has done it all. From country to bluegrass to gospel, Skaggs has found success in every style he's set his heart to. SOLO: SONGS MY DAD LOVED finds the singer/songwriter in tribute mode. Skaggs credits his father for helping him fall in love with music, thus these 13 tracks were lovingly recorded as homage to Hobert Skaggs. Ricky played every single instrument on the acoustic collection and sang every note; there are no outside musicians or vocal guests anywhere to be found. The Kentucky native has never sounded better in his career than he does here, from the haunting instrumentation and vocals of "City That Lies Foursquare" to the lightning-fast fretting and fingering on "Calloway," one of three instrumental tracks on the disc, Skaggs sounds totally in his element. Standout tracks include Fred Rose's "Foggy River," Albert Brumley's "This World Is Not My Home," and "God Holds the Future in His Hands," a traditional number that sounds as if it was penned with Skaggs' voice in mind. Few artists in any genre could pull of an album like this, but Skaggs makes it look and sound easy.
Editorial Reviews [A]n intimate, fly-on-the-wall field recording. Such instrumentals as 'Colonel Prentiss,' 'Pickin' in Caroline' and 'Calloway' give Skaggs room to show off his multitracked chops... Billboard
