    picky ricky
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2014*

it turns out that r. skaggs can write as well as he plays.  He's "picky ricky" about more than just music.  This autobiography is a jewel which frequently had me in tears.  I'm familiar with country and bluegrass and am a competent amateur musician. Skaggs was the great hope for country back in the dreadful late 70's, early 80's.  His "highway 40 blues" might be my favorite alltime country song.  But this bio makes you feel like you are right there.  It is worth reading just to understand the history of bluegrass.  He is obviously a real God-fearing Christian who wears his religion on his sleeve.  If you are family oriented at all, his life story will really touch your heart.  You feel like you're almost there the day he had to tell his dad that they wanted him and Keith whitley to play on stage and not his dad.  This glorious book is for anyone that loves Eastern Kentucky, bluegrass, country, or wants insight into the music business and history.  Ricky Skaggs was the biggest name in country during the 80's.  He left bluegrass, but he also brought it with him and returned country and the Opry to its roots.  Then he walked away from it and returned to his real love--bluegrass and gospel.  Maybe I'm a little biased because we're the same age and I'm also a musician that was heavy into bluegrass and country--and eastern Kentucky.  The bio of Tammy Wynette was also very emotional to read, but by comparison this one at least had a much happier ending.

    Very insightful
  

*by L***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2021*

What I enjoyed about the book was as Ricky Skaggs takes you on his life's journey as a kid growing up, and throughout his adulthood, it was also a bit of a history book starting from the 1950's  of bluegrass music when discussing his experiences with Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers.  Other reviewers mentioned there was an overabundance of religiosity contained in the book, but as a Christian, that did not bother me.  Ricky is genuine in his beliefs and expressing his love for Christ is just part of what it means to be a Christian. I'm a Ricky Skaggs fan and bluegrass musician, so I loved the book.

    The New Father of Bluegrass
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 15, 2013*

If Ricky maintained focus on his musical journey and minimized his proselytizing, this book would have been more enjoyable. However being a Bluegrass junkie it was overall a satisfying read.  It would be difficult to make up such a story as this. The journey includes being part of Flatt and Scruggs TV show at age 7, with Bill Monroe on stage at age 6, and recognized by the Stanley Brothers as an adolescent. This is all beyond one's imagination. Rich with country music anecdotal history, it is a pointed moment when Ricky decides to dedicate himself to Bluegrass. His professional life is filled with decisions made by his passion for his art and less on financial considerations. More than once he chose to not follow the professional advice he was given and followed his bliss. This may  be a lesson for any young artist considering following their muse professionally. Overall a good read, however if you are sensitive to overt evangelicalism,I suggest avoiding the latter chapters.
