Make no mistake about it, ANCIENT TONES is an homage. Impossibly talented picker Ricky Skaggs pays his respects to bluegrass legends Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers--with excellent results. |
|
From the opening mandolin-and-fiddle-driven Bill Monroe dirge "Walls of Time," Skaggs sounds right at home singing the songs he learned as a child prodigy. Among the other classics on ANCIENT TONES are Monroe's "Mighty Dark to Travel" and the Stanley Brothers' "Pig in a Pen." However, among all the first-rate songs on ANCIENT TONES, it's a new one, "Coal Minin' Man" by Jim Mills, that shows bluegrass' potential to continue as an important, homemade music in the sped-up modern world. |
