Highways & Heartaches

Hard to pick a favorite, but this CD has some really good songs on it. I'll take this more traditional country music over the garbage pop music stuff out there now any day. Just me....

I had this on an LP record some thirty two or so years ago and what wonderful memories it brings back! Just love every song and will always treasure this CD!

If you like real country music you need this. Fiddles, and pedal steel kick ass on Rickys stuff.

Just about every song it good. Some are more catchy (acres and acres of broken hearted lovers) but all are good. Try listening to soldiers of the cross (particularly 7 Hillsides) A different album from Highways and Heartaches.

I received it with a cracked case, but otherwise I am satisfied.

ricky skaggs is ok i bought this as a gift for my mom i got it used by can in mint condition he does have some good songs though

Ricky's CDs are always tight. The musianship was first rate and without flaw, but it isn't Bluegrass as I see it. I should have sampled it before buying, because I was expecting a hard driving bluegrass version of "Can't You Hear Me Calling'?" Highways & Heartaches  However, when he plays with Kentucky Thunder, it is Bluegrass turned up to eleven.

This is with out a doubt the best record Ricky ever made. Great musicians all over this album. I recommend it highly. Thanks

This is a brilliant album of Skaggs'. It has all the classic hits eg highway 40 blues, i wouldn't change you if i could and one way rider. I bought this for my da who had this album, possibly on vinyl, when he lived and played country music in london. Whatever happened, and he left it there, and so if i was ever wanting to buy MYSELF a cd, he would always talk about how great this album was, and rightly so. I would say that this album, IS Ricky Skaggs! These are the songs that you know him by. Also the sound quality is very high despite the fact this album was first recorded in the 80's.Just in case you want to know the songs1. Heartbroke2. You've got a lover3. Don't think i'll cry4. Don't let your sweet love die5. Nothing can hurt you6. I wouldn't change you if i could7. Can't you hear me callin'8. Highway 40 blues9. Let's love the bad times away10. One way riderOverall a brilliant bluegrass/country album that any fan should add to their collection

This is one of Ricky Skaggs country albums before he returned to bluegrass. It is country all the way with a bluegrass edge. Contains the superb title track, Heartbroken which is a classic and others. If you love traditional country music brought up to date, this is a great collection. Plenty of fiddle, steel guitars and great songs. Highly recommended.
