2008 has been yet another banner year for Skaggs. After winning his 13th Grammy Award for 'Salt of the Earth' (Skaggs Family Records), his album with the Whites which the Washington Post called 'an album fueled by spiritual themes, striking vocal harmonies and stellar musicianship,' Skaggs released two critically acclaimed albums, 'Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass: Tribute to 1946 and 1947' (Skaggs Family Records) and 'The High Notes' (Cracker Barrel).
Billboard called 'Honoring the Fathers,' Skaggs' tribute to Bill Monroe and the 'Original Bluegrass Band,' 'nothing short of brilliant,' while Country Weekly called 'The High Notes,' a collection of his No 1 Country hits reworked as bluegrass arrangements and available at Cracker Barrel locations throughout the US, 'a fun, fresh romp through Ricky's back catalogue that offers a reminder about the continued vitality of the star himself.'
