We’re listening to some great music by the Grammy Award-winning Country Music Hall of Famer.
On this date in 1954, bluegrass/country singer-songwriter, multiple Grammy Award winner, and Country Music Hall of Famer Ricky Skaggs was born in Cordell, Kentucky. To celebrate the occasion, we’re listening to some of his great music — including his early country chart-toppers, and his unique take on the Harry Chapin classic “Cat’s in the Cradle.” We invite you to join us.

But wait, there’s more. Here are two clips showcasing Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder in live performance – first at the 52nd CMA Awards, then a nearly hour-long set at the 2018 ROMP Festival in Owensboro, Kentucky.
