Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby, by Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby (2007): Bruce has always flirted around the edges of bluegrass, but in this collaboration he dives in head first. Working (mostly) with Skaggs's band, they rip through an interesting collection of tunes. I prefer the reworked Hornsby tunes, "A Night on the Town" and "Crown of Jewels" particularly, and his original cuts more than the traditional bluegrass stuff (although "Come On Out" is excellent). To top it off, the albums concludes with a version of "Superfreak." Yes - it's bluegrass Rick James, bitch!
