If bluegrass music is your musical style of choice, then Ricky Skaggs and The Whites are for you!  They have perfected the bluegrass sound and it comes through on their latest recording.

The project has thirteen songs on it including a number of very familiar songs.  "Love Will Be Enough" is the first song on the project and it reminds us of the power of love.  "Homesick For Heaven" is the next song and the message is outstanding.  "Big Wheel" and "Salt Of The Earth" are the next songs and are done in the bluegrass style.

"Wreck On The Highway" is next and is followed by and all time favorite hymn of mine titled "Farther Along."  "Let It Shine" is a familiar song and it's followed by a wonder version of the old hymn "Near The Cross."  "One Seed Of Love" is the next song.

"This Old House" is a great old song and it is next on the project.  "Wings Of A Dove" is an old classic in Gospel Music and Ricky and The Whites do a very good job on this song.  Another old hymn is next and "Blessed Assurance" is performed in an outstanding way.  The final song on the project is "The Solid Rock."

"Salt Of The Earth" is a project that will please all Ricky Skaggs and The Whites fans.  The project does not deviate at all from the sound that made them a very popular act.  My favorite songs from the project are "Wings Of A Dove," "Farther Along" and "This Old House."  The project will become a popular addition to your bluegrass music collection.  For more information visit www.skaggsfamilyrecords.com.
