Quote from AMG: "The term "multi-talented" lacks the power to characterise 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)." Two No.1 hits - 'Crying My Heart Out Over You' and 'I Don't Care' - came from 1981's 'Waitin' For The Sun To Shine', Ricky's first album on the Epic record label. The album has a straightforward mountain approach. On 1982's 'Highways & Heartaches', Skaggs developed his bluegrass roots with new traditionalist sensibilities and catchy pop tunes. Four of the tracks - 'Heartbroke', 'You've Got A Lover', 'I Wouldn't Change You If I Could' and 'Highway 40 Blues' - were chart-toppers"
