All I ever loved was you by keith Whitley and Ricky Skaggs

[nutinghoney]

i agree that you can't find goog hard core country music & or Good bluegrass any more.This stuff they call country now, you can't tell one artist from another(male or female).Igrew up in the 70's w/rock & even then ,I was hard core country w/a good tear jerking tune. Thanks for traditonal country &bluegrass!!!

TWO WORDS ~ * THE BEST *

[Laurelstarlw]

I'm sorry to tell you that Ricky's mom did not write this song, it's old, old bluegrass. Love it anyway, my dad had this on 8 track. But I've heard this song all my life, by many different artists, so it goes back way farther than Ricky's mom.

@Laurelstarlw Just reiterating what it states on the record liner notes.... however it would not be the first time ever if they were wrong, and i dare say it will happen again!

[Rcksaltnnails]

@Laurelstarlw The song was indeed written by Dorthy May Skaggs between 1943 and 1947(she didnt remember when she actualloy wrote it). She has had several other songs recorded by famous bluegrassers but this one was the most well know. The nightt aht Ricky played at the G.O.O. the Skaggs family as a whole was there and they performed that song then. It predates 8 track players, so it is easy to see how you didnt realize it was that old of a song. In fact, it predates the 33 1/3 by a bit.

[bulbheadmyass]

Thank you for posting this great song. I discovered this album in the mid-1970's and wore out the album listening to it. I didn't know Ricky's mother had written this tune. A million stars for this.

[TheCDJS]

Thanks for putting this up!

Great!

[lettermen1]

Welcome CDJS!

[TheCDJS]

Thanks, lettermen1

I have been a Bluegrass lover for decades, I live in Sierra Madre, Calif. where Time Warner just cut the Bluegrass Music Channel. Damn....we complained, but they haven't put it back yet.

Sure appreciate you folks posting this great music.

[lettermen1]

Yeah!! Time Warner are the playground bully and don't care who they upset!!

I had 3 of my videos disabled by them which would have been understandable if they had been recent releases, but they were close to 50 years old!!

[Donkey9900]

I bought this album some 20 years ago, & then started a search for their 1st album, "Tribute to the Stanley Brothers", which hadn't (& still hasn't) been re-released, on the Jalyn label out of Dayton, Ohio. An on & off search was started, & finally found a copy on Ebay in 2001. I probably paid way too much, but don't regret it, since I've loved the Whitley/Skaggs stuff since 1st hearing them on the radio in the early 80's. Album was recorded to CD, & put away.

[lettermen1]

Great comment! I don't believe you can pay too much for something you love.

[debbieg64]

Thanks for the post video is well done 5*****s

[MistyMountaineers]

Ricky scaggs Mandolin

keith whitley Guitar

Dwight Whitley on banjo

fiddle...not curly..my family was close to curley..it's some other guy..cant remember his name..

And bass is one of keith and rickys friend...

[fiddleplayer9]

Who's the fiddle player on this album?

[lettermen1]

Sorry! I've just looked at the album and there is no personnel information whatsoever! Hope another fan will be able to help you!

[HillbillyJ]

I'm not positive but I think it might have been Ricky Skaggs. I know Ricky played some awesome fiddle when he joined JD Crowe's band in '75. His great variations on Sally Goodin on JD's Rounder 0044 album never fail to catch my ear.

[fiddleplayer9]

It could be ricky Skaggs, but I did a little digging and I think tha fiddle player is Curly Ray Cline. Curly Ray is on fiddle and Ralph stanley is on banjo... I think.

[hillsdeville]

this has to be the earliest recording of kieth ive heard on youtube

[Milkm4n2005]

What a wonderful song I live not to far from sandyhook, Ashland KY. I play a martin and drink sour mash. Dont ever go for the queen of diamonds always the queen of hearts.

[reddogrice]

it was just them a stand up bass and a drummer with a snare and bass drum and a high hat it was good

[reddogrice]

heard these two in nashville in the day

[lettermen1]

That must hve been somethin'!

[MAMsMom97]

Thank you for paying tribute to Keith this way. That "Second Generation Bluegrass" album is brilliant! I have the original vinyl album and the CD. Keith was 17 and Ricky was 19 when they recorded this together.

[lettermen1]

You're welcome, friend! Thanks for the info on their ages, I often wondered about that.
