Chanteur Country US né 18 juillet 1954, originaire de Cordell (Kentucky), Ricky Skaggs a débuté très jeune comme multi-instrumentiste (mandoline, guitare, fiddle). Il joua avec les "Clinch Mountain Boys" (70-73), les
"Country Gentlemen" (74), le "Hot Band"
d'Emmylou Harris (77). Après un album pour Sugar Hill Records, Ricky signe avec Epic et produit lui-même ses albums, qui tous se classeront au Top 10 Country. Il est devenu l'un des grands de Nashville.
By the time
he was in his mid-thirties, Kentuckian Ricky Skaggs had already produced a
career's worth of music. At age seven he appeared on TV with
Flatt & Scruggs; at 15 he was a member of
legendary Ralph Stanley's bluegrass
band (with fellow teenager Keith
Whitley). None of his '80s peers, male or female, had better musical
credentials than Skaggs. The term "multi-talented" lacks the power to
characterize this extraordinary singer and instrumentalist. Not only can he sing
and pick with the best in progressive country, his broad and deep experience in
traditional music separates him from the crowd. In the estimation of many, he is
without peer as a combination vocalist and instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin,
fiddle, banjo). After playing with
Ralph Stanley for three years, Skaggs moved on to progressive bluegrass
bands the Country Gentlemen and
J.D. Crowe & the New South. With his own
band, Boone Creek, he mixed the old and the new, adding Django Reinhardt. Skaggs
took Rodney Crowell's place in
Emmylou Harris' Hot Band in 1977, and
the band's excellent Roses in the Snow album showcased Skaggs'
versatility. Two number one hits came out of his 1981 album Waitin' for the
Sun to Shine, and the awards started arriving. Skaggs is largely responsible
for a back-to-basics movement in country music. He showed many that a bluegrass
tenor with impeccable taste and enormous talent could sell traditional country
in the '80s, a time when pop music had invaded the land of rural rhythm.
Skaggs began playing music at a very early age, being given a mandolin from his
father at the age of five. Before his father had the time to teach Ricky how to
play, the child had learned the instrument himself, and by the end of 1959, he
had performed on-stage during a Bill Monroe
concert, playing "Ruby Are You Mad at Your Man" to great acclaim. Two years
later, when Skaggs was seven, he appeared on
Flatt & Scruggs' television show, again to a positive response. Shortly
afterward, he learned how to play both fiddle and guitar and began playing with
his parents in a group called the Skaggs Family. In addition to traditional
bluegrass, Skaggs began absorbing the honky tonk of
George Jones and
Ray Price and the British Invasion rock &
roll of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. In his adolescence, he briefly
played in rock & roll bands, but he never truly abandoned traditional and roots
music.
During a talent concert in his midteens, he met
Keith Whitley, a fellow fiddler.
The two adolescents became friends and began playing together, with Whitley's
brother Dwight on banjo, at various radio shows. By 1970, they earned a spot
opening for Ralph Stanley.
Following their performance, Stanley
invited the duo to join his supporting band, the Clinch Mountain Boys, and they
accepted. Over the next two years, they played many concerts with the bluegrass
legend and appeared on his record Cry From the Cross. Skaggs also
appeared on Whitley's solo album
Second Generation Bluegrass in 1972.
Though he had made his way into the bluegrass circuit and was actively recording,
Skaggs had grown tired of the hard work and low pay in the Clinch Mountain Boys
and left the group at the end of 1972. For a short while, he abandoned music and
worked in a boiler room for the Virginia Electric Power Company in Washington,
D.C., but he returned to performing when the
Country Gentlemen invited him to join in 1973. Skaggs spent the next two
years with the group, primarily playing fiddle, before joining the progressive
bluegrass band J.D. Crowe & the New South
in 1974. The following year, he recorded another duo album with
Whitley, That's It, and then
formed his own newgrass band, Boone Creek, in 1976. In addition to bluegrass,
the outfit played honky tonk and Western swing.
Boone Creek earned the attention
of Emmylou Harris, who invited Skaggs to
join her supporting band. After declining her several times, he finally became a
member of her Hot Band once Rodney Crowell
left in 1977.
Between 1977 and 1980, Skaggs helped push
Harris toward traditional country and bluegrass, often to great acclaim.
Skaggs also pursued a number of other musical venues while he was with
Harris, recording a final album with
Boone Creek (1978's One Way Track), two duo albums with
Tony Rice (1978's Take Me Home Tonight
in a Song, 1980's Skaggs & Rice), and finally, his first solo album,
Sweet Temptation, which was released on Sugar Hill. Sweet Temptation
was a major bluegrass hit, earning the attention of the major label Epic
Records. The label offered him a contract in 1981, releasing Waitin' for the
Sun to Shine later that year. The album was a big hit, earning acclaim not
only in country circles, but also in rock & roll publications. By the end of the
year, Skaggs had become a star and, in the process, brought rootsy traditional
country back into the consciousness of the country audience.
During 1982 and early 1983, he had five straight number one singles — "Crying My
Heart Out Over You," "I Don't Care," "Heartbroke," "I Wouldn't Change You If I
Could," "Highway 40 Blues" — as well as earning numerous awards. Later in 1982,
he was made the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry. For the next four years,
he was a major artistic and commercial force within country music, raking up a
string of Top Ten hits and Grammy Award-winning albums. His success helped spark
the entire new traditionalist movement, opening the doors for performers like
George Strait and
Randy Travis. Toward the end of the
decade, Skaggs wasn't charting as frequently as he had in the past, but he had
established himself as an icon. Each of his records sold well, and he
collaborated with a number of musicians, including
Rodney Crowell,
the Bellamy Brothers,
Johnny Cash, Jesse Winchester, and
Dolly Parton.
During the early '90s, Skaggs and his traditional music were hit hard by the
slick sounds of contemporary country, and consequently, his records ceased to
sell as consistently as they had ten years earlier. Columbia Records dropped the
musician from their label in 1992 due to poor sales. However, Skaggs continued
to perform concerts and festivals frequently, as well as host his own syndicated
radio program, The Simple Life, which hit the airwaves in 1994. The following
year, Skaggs returned to recording with Solid Ground, his first album for
Atlantic Records. Life Is a Journey followed in 1997, and two years later
he released Soldier of the Cross. Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe
followed in 2000 and was re-released in 2002 on the Lyric Street label as
Ricky Skaggs and Friends Sing the Songs of Bill Monroe. In 2003, Skaggs
released Live at the Charleston Music Hall on his own Skaggs Family
label, followed by Brand New Strings in 2004 and Instrumentals in
2006. He joined forces with the Whites for
2007's Salt of the Earth. 2008's Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass
paid homage to Bill Monroe's classic mid-1940s
lineup of the Bluegrass Boys and featured the only surviving member of that
band, Earl Scruggs, as a guest player.
For 2009's Solo: Songs My Dad Loved, dedicated to his father, Hobert
Skaggs, he played all the instruments and sang all the vocals himself, while
2010’s Mosaic, co-produced by Skaggs and Gordon Kennedy, found him singing
gospel-inflected country songs with more of a pop and rock feel.
