RICKY SKAGGS BRINGS MUSIC TO MY EARS
All-new Country & Bluegrass Album Set for September 25 Release
Nashville, Tenn. (August 14, 2012) – Fourteen-time GRAMMY® Award winner Ricky Skaggs will please Country and Bluegrass fans alike with the release of his all-new album, Music To My Ears (Skaggs Family Records). The new project, set for a September 25 release, is produced by Skaggs and co-produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter Gordon Kennedy, famed for penning multiple smash hit songs including Eric Clapton’s “Change The World.”
“This
album is ‘Music To My Ears’ and I hope to yours, as well,” says Skaggs.
“We’ve flavored it with all of my favorite sounds and I’m excited to
have teamed up with some of the best musicians in the business to create
this new record.”
Music To My Ears
includes all-new songs as well as fresh takes on older Bluegrass
standards. The track, “Soldier’s Son,” brings together the musical
talents of Ricky Skaggs and Barry Gibb, known for his longtime fame with the Bee Gees.
Gibb, who made his Grand Ole Opry debut alongside Skaggs earlier this
year, co-wrote “Soldier’s Son” to be sung by the pair for the new album.
The
album also includes a new Christian Bluegrass song, “Music To My Ears,”
“Tennessee Stud,” a special tribute to the late Doc Watson, “New
Jerusalem,” a new instrumental written by Skaggs and “You Can’t Hurt
Ham,” a recording with lyrics inspired by the infamous saying of the
Father of Bluegrass Music, Bill Monroe, co-written by Kennedy and
Skaggs.
Music To My Ears is available for pre-order now at www.rickyskaggs.com.
