Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ricky Skaggs grew up in Cordell, Kentucky, where his father played guitar and introduced him to bluegrass music. By age five he was already performing with his family band, The Skaggs Family, absorbing influences from Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs.
His 1981 album 'Waitin' for the Sun' brought wider attention, with the title track becoming a hit. He followed it with albums like 'Highways & Heartaches' and 'Kentucky Thunder' through the early 1980s. Songs like 'Baby I'm In Love With You' and 'Something in My Heart' show his blend of traditional bluegrass instrumentation with country arrangements.
In the late 1980s he took a break from music before returning to recording and performing. His work has included both secular material and gospel-influenced songs reflecting his religious background.
