that hipster "new grass" is shit. They have no identity or connection to the music, no background of being mountain-folk or southerners. They just copy it cos it sounds "cool" to them, and like to play dress up with their coveralls and old time looking clothes. They're pathetic. However Ricky is the real deal! We need somebody to take his place.

Ricky is absolutely a mandolin master. Bill Monroe's mandolin was notorious for being hard to play because of the way he liked it set up. You can tell by how conservative he plays on this. Still an absolutely iconic moment!

Well done from Michigan and this 75 year old, loving your singing Ricky!

I had the sincere pleasure of seeing Ricky and Kentucky Thunder in Fort Smith recently. I gotta tell you, there is nothing else like the sheer quiet and pure music/voice that happens when Ricky begins singing. It gives me goosebumps to listen to it. It speaks to my soul. I know I can't be the only one that feels that way. What a treasure he is, with his band and all the stories he tells with his singing.

My mammaw who was the most dedicated Christian woman, loved gospel music. Lately I've had this song stuck in my head. I'm not a Christian but she was. She would sing gospel music all the time. This was one she sang often. I know it because of her and her making me go to church. I guess she's been talking to me and I didn't realize it. I would never personally choose this song but she would. I lost her in 2003. I was 16 years old. I'd give anything to see her again. I will always love gospel music because of her.
