That presenter is Marty Stuart. Most people overlook the mullet due to the fact that he is one of the most incredible musicians out there.

Ricky Skaggs has a great ear for harmony, and these two songs are fantastic, both musically and lyrically. It's so good to hear a well-crafted song with the faith to back it, and musicianship of this quality. The presenter's mullet is laughably terrible, and all the more so as everybody else around him has a normal haircut.

@jteran29 RICKY FORGOT MORE THAN MARTY STUART WILL EVER KNOW.

I love hip hop and death metal and postmodern experimental nonsense.

But I also love bluegrass.

@jteran29 Yes, Marty Stuart is a truly great musician. He is also one of the few men cute enough to be able to pull off a mullet. ;-)

Ricky Skaggs seems to always get the best talent in his bands. I would give anything to play the Banjo like Jimmy Mills or the fiddle like Andy Leftwich

good singer i love 90% of all his songs

@watchingtelly What are you talking about? That mullet made Marty Stuart, not to mention his great talent.

@watchingtelly How do you know Ricky Skaggs but not Marty Stuart???

[2handsforchrist]

@watchingtelly I'm with jteran. Most people overlook the do because Marty is an incredible instrumentalist. be careful of how you speak of other people for you too have been treated this way by others (i can almost guarantee it). we've all had that happen to us so remember "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

Andy Leftwich is so glorious!! His playing is so clean and creative... FLAWLESS!!!

I went to the Billy Graham Revival in the old RCA Dome in Indianapolis in 1999 to hear Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, who were touring with Rev. Graham at the time. They sang both of these tunes plus "Soldier of the Cross", all beautifully done. I think Ricky Skaggs is the single best musician in all of contemporary bluegrass, and that's saying a lot!
