Review

Dirty Linen (6-7/99, p.51) - "...he searches for those distinctive tones and inflections that make bluegrass so dark and lonesome for those that love it..."

ANCIENT TONES won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.

Make no mistake about it, ANCIENT TONES is an homage. Impossibly talented picker Ricky Skaggs pays his respects to bluegrass legends Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers--with excellent results.

From the opening mandolin-and-fiddle-driven Bill Monroe dirge "Walls of Time," Skaggs sounds right at home singing the songs he learned as a child prodigy. Among the other classics on ANCIENT TONES are Monroe's "Mighty Dark to Travel" and the Stanley Brothers' "Pig in a Pen." However, among all the first-rate songs on ANCIENT TONES, it's a new one, "Coal Minin' Man" by Jim Mills, that shows bluegrass' potential to continue as an important, homemade music in the sped-up modern world.
