From Amazon.com
Since rededicating himself in 1997 to bluegrass, the music into which he was born, Kentucky native son Ricky Skaggs has re-established himself as one of the most talented and inspired figures in the music's immensely crowded front ranks. History of the Future is not as thematically ambitious as previous releases, such as the 2000 tribute Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe. Instead, it's an energetic hodgepodge of bluegrass oldies such as "Shady Grove" and "Mother's Only Sleeping" and a handful of fine new songs, including the Paul Overstreet-penned "Halfway Home Café," "One Way Track" (an early Skaggs original dusted off from his long-gone days in the band Boone Creek), and "Too Far Down to Fall," in which Skaggs and his band catch a remarkable groove. As overly familiar as some of these bluegrass classics are, they nonetheless demonstrate what a powerhouse supergroup Skaggs has assembled in Kentucky Thunder. The band even manages to supercharge moldy oldies such as "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms" and "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, and Loud Music"--subtly redefining them for the 21st century. --Bob Allen
