5.0 out of 5 stars One of his very best, August 10, 2000

"debbie-n-va" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bluegrass Rules (Audio CD)

I actually purchased this after Ancient Tones and wondered if it could be 1/2 as good as that. Believe me it's all that and more. I absolutely love the old songs and the old time sound that Ricky and his band gives these songs. The harmonies in these songs are the greatest. I liked every one of the cuts on this CD, my particular favorite Rank Stranger. An old tune brought to life by Ricky, et al. I agree that I think Ricky is the best thing in bluegrass music today, and I've been following him since the late 70's early 80's and love the way his beautiful voice has matured and become more beautiful. Please give us more Bluegrass Rules/Ancient Tones/Soldier of the Cross!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best, August 12, 2004

Robert Steelman (Yadkinville, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bluegrass Rules (Audio CD)

I can't say it any simplier: This is one of my favorite recordings of all times!

If anyone needs a modern sampler of traditional bluegrass music I would recommend this one. If you need more, the albums that followed this one are right on up there too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keepin' Bluegrass Alive and Kickin', November 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bluegrass Rules (Audio CD)

I don't believe there is anybody more convicted to the perpetuation of the "ancient tones" of bluegrass into the next millenium than Skaggs. "Bluegrass Rules" exemplifies the fusion of modern, refined music recording and the bluegrass tunes of days past that we see today. Skaggs has definately captured and preserved the "high lonesome sound" of the Stanley songs on this release. This album is a must buy for any bluegrass fan young or old.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, certainly not their best
but the band is tight and sounding as good as ever. The material (selections) is a bit weak overall and the first and last cut add nothing. Read more
