Music man Top country performer Skaggs strives to be better

By 808 CARLTON Newhousc News Service NEW YORK Country picker Ricky Skaggs doesn’t know knights from pawns and he hasn’t the time to learn but he figures he’d make a mighty fine chess player. “I’m a planner,” Skaggs says. “I plan ahead. If I ever did learn how to play, I would probably be a good chess player. I always try to think ahead. ” And like a chess prodigy, Skaggs has developed into the young master of his craft. He will tell you he had it all mapped out from the start. His father gave him a mandolin when he was 5, and by the time he turned 15 Skaggs had his first steady work as a professional musician, playing mandolin and touring the country with one of his all-time heroes, “claw-hammer” banjo virtuoso Ralph Stanley. Folks who saw him back then knew little Ricky would be somebody special. Now, 30-year-old Ricky Skaggs is on top. Just ask the old masters. Earl Scruggs calls him “the best artist to hit the coun-try-music scene in a long time.” And Chet Atkins adds, “Folks like him can save country music.” With his new rendition of Bill Monroe’s fiddle classic, “Uncle Pen,” Skaggs has the nation’s No. 1 country single. And his band was selected instrumental group of

RICKY SKAGGS Second to none no more the year by the Country Music Association. While most everybody else in Nashville has played follow-the-leader in recent times, Skaggs has cut a trail all his own. “I’m still trying to advance and learn more about the music,” Skaggs says. “But I don’t ever want to get so far advanced that it’s not country anymore. That’s the whole reason I’m playing. “No one else is doing it. God, I mean

nobody is playing traditional country music, especially from a bluegrass background.” Born in Cordell, Ky., Skaggs was first enraptured by the bluegrass sounds of Carter and Ralph Stanley. “I’ve been a fan of theirs ever since. ... Carter Stanley, he just knew how to sing a song, boy. He could get inside one and really make it live.” A few years later Skaggs hooked up with the Country Gentlemen. His popularity grew with the group, and he also began to perform with J.D. Crowe and the New South, and started his own group, Boone Creek. It was through that circle of musicians that Skaggs met country girl Emmylou Harris. Because of his mountain-music background, folks like to think of Skaggs as a bluegrass musician, but he doesn’t necessarily agree. “It’s just old-time country music to me,” he says. One of his biggest supporters, though, is Mr. Bluegrass himself, Bill Monroe. The two are frequent playing pamers, and only setropriate that Skaggs took Monroe’s “Uncle Pen” all the way to No. 1. “I called him the other night and gave him the good news,” Skaggs says. “He said he was really proud I was a Kentuckian.” Ricky Skaggs wouldn’t play second fiddle to anybody anymore.

Bryson a 'natural' for duets, ballads

By MARY CAMPBELL AP Newsfeatures Writer Peabo Bryson, taking the romantic approach in the songs he writes and the smooth way he sings them, is a natural for duets. And he has sung with some ladies. Roberta Flack comes first to mind. However, he says, he never went hunting for a duet partner. They’ve all come about naturally. Natalie Cole was first. Bryson says, “I toured with Natalie in the early part of my career. I opened her show and 1 would come back during her program and we’d sing ‘Wish That 1 Could Touch Your Lonely Heart.’ 1 think she ended up doing that song as a solo. 1 did an album with her; I don’t think that song was on it.” The album was “We’re the Best of Friends,” on Capitol, in 1979 Bryson and Miss Flack mei wnen snc came backstage after he gave a concert in Lincoln Center. He had a new album out, “Paradise.” She had made a duet album with Donny Hathaway, who recentlv had died. He says, “She was needing somebody to fill that bill. We liked each other right off the bat. She said to me, ‘Let’s just try it and see if it works. ’ She sat at my piano and played. “You can’t tell if you’ll blend with somebody until you sing with her or him.” Miss Flack and Bryson had the same manager and toured together. Their 1980 album, on Atlantic, was "Live and More.” a double album, with some songs by her, some by him and some duets. He says, “The response was so great and positive when we played live, we knew it was the right tiling to do.” They made an '>t.her duet album, in a studio, “Born To Love,” in 1983, for

Somebody working with her, who had worked with Bryson, called him and told him. He says, “I said I’d lie honored. “I listened to it and liked it.” The song was “Lovers after She,’” and the duet went on her next Arista album. In 1984, Jennifer Holiday toured with Bryson for nine weeks. “She really leaves the stage hot,” the singer says. “She has tremendous force. To follow her on stage is not for the faint of heart.” Bryson’s latest album, "Straight from the Heart,” is a solo album, nis first for Elektra Records. Bryson was born in Greenville, S.C., April 13, 1951, oldest of four children. His father gave him a French West Indian name, Pepo. “there are conflicting reports about what it means,” Bryson says. "I think it means a small elephant.” When Bryson joined his first band, led by Moses Dillard, Dillard changed Pepo to Peabo. That band toured widely, in America and abroad. Bryson and his family now live in Atlanta. Growing up, Bryson says, he and his sister went to hear lots of music shows. “We got a chance to see a lot of old, great performers. We saw Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson the same night. Sam was never flustered. Jackie was so strenuous. “The first time I ever went to a concert and saw what they did and how they did it, I believed I could do it. I must have been 4."
