Product description NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE .com Although Ricky Skaggs had already made an impact on the country and bluegrass worlds, this 1979 record was actually his debut as a solo leader. In many ways, Sweet Temptation serves as a worthwhile companion piece to Emmylou Harris's delightful Roses in the Snow. (Skaggs was a member of Harris's Hot Band at the time, and Emmylou even joins in here with harmony vocals.) Recorded with much the same supporting cast and at roughly the same time, Sweet Temptation alternates between traditional country and bluegrass: Steel master Buddy Emmons and electric-guitar blazer Albert Lee boost the country- leaning numbers while Tony Rice, Bobby Hicks, Jerry Douglas, and Marc Pruett guide the bluegrass material. Skaggs's sugary voice is the common thread. --Marc Greilsamer

sweet temptation
This is Ricky"s first big recording, he was just starting to work in Nashville, the players on this are all top notch, his buddie's! The music is a combination of country and bluegrass which is what I like the best, I bought this originally on vinyl and wore it out, I still expect this c d to skip at the same place's, but it doesn't,I really love this CD. Shooter!

An awesome bluegrass-country album!
Along with the 1980 "Skaggs & Rice" album, this 1979 masterpiece is probably Ricky Skaggs' finest, sweetest album, packed with bouncy, jovial covers of great melodic oldies such as Lester Flatt's "I'll Stay Around," Merle Travis's "Sweet Temptation," and a jaunty run-through of a bluesy old Carter Family song, "I Know What It Means To Be Lonesome." And then there's the utterly heartbreaking, incandescent "Could You Love Me One More Time," which gives a hint to the kind of heartsong gems that Skaggs would record in his surprising second act as a Top 40 hitmaker. "Sweet Temptation" is a real high point for traditionally-oriented musicmaking, a genuine Americana classic. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Country Music Guide)

Ricky Skaggs: An inch away from Country Superstardom
Ricky was already a Bluegrass GIANT, and a mainstay in Emmylou Harris' "Hot Band". His next solo project made him a Country Superstar. This album is a logical transition piece - accompanied by Bluegrass friends and masters like Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas and Bobby Hicks and country gunslingers like Albert Lee and his "boss" at the time - Ms Harris. The Bluegrass cuts are classics - I'll Stay Around, I Know What It Means to be Lonesome. The country cuts, such as the title cut "Sweet Temptation" are vibrant and accompanied by his wife and in-laws, The Whites. I love this album, and if you like Bluegrass or Country or Ricky Skaggs, I predict you will as well.
