Info for Boone Creek (Remastered)
Die zukünftigen Bluegrass-Stars Jerry Douglas und Ricky Skaggs glänzen auf dem erweiterten Debütalbum von Boone Creek, das nun vier bisher unveröffentlichte Titel enthält.
Das selbstbetitelte Debütalbum von Boone Creek nimmt seit jeher einen faszinierenden Platz in der Bluegrass-Geschichte ein. Ursprünglich Ende der 1970er Jahre veröffentlicht, hielt es einen Moment fest, in dem eine Gruppe junger Musiker bereits über die traditionellen Grenzen des Genres hinausblickte, dabei aber tief in dessen Wurzeln verwurzelt blieb.
Im Mittelpunkt der Geschichte stehen die zukünftigen Bluegrass-Ikonen Jerry Douglas und Ricky Skaggs, die Boone Creek gemeinsam mit dem Gitarristen Wes Golding und dem Banjospieler Terry Baucom gründeten, nachdem sie bei J.D. Crowe and the New South gespielt hatten. Auch wenn jeder von ihnen später die amerikanische Roots-Musik maßgeblich prägen sollte, dokumentiert „Boone Creek“ sie in einer entscheidenden Phase, in der sie mit Ideen experimentierten, die die Zukunft des progressiven Bluegrass mitgestalten sollten.
Diese erweiterte Neuauflage, die nun von den Originalbändern remastert wurde, wirft ein neues Licht auf ein Album, das seiner Zeit um Jahre voraus war. Boone Creek verband die Präzision und den Schwung des traditionellen Bluegrass mit Einflüssen aus der jam-orientierten Musizierweise und der zeitgenössischen Popmusik und schuf so einen Sound, der sich zugleich vertraut und abenteuerlich anfühlte.
Durch die Hinzufügung von vier bisher unveröffentlichten Outtakes gewinnt die Sammlung noch mehr an Faszination. Diese Aufnahmen klingen keineswegs wie „Reste“, sondern zeigen vielmehr, wie weit die Band bereit war, die Musik voranzutreiben. Aus heutiger Sicht wirken sie bemerkenswert zukunftsweisend und bieten einen tieferen Einblick in die kreative Chemie, die Boone Creek zu einem so einzigartigen Projekt machte.
Wenn man sie heute hört, versteht man leicht, warum Boone Creek unter Bluegrass-Liebhabern nach wie vor ein Meilenstein ist. Die Kombination aus instrumentaler Kraft, gewagten Arrangements und jugendlichem Selbstbewusstsein macht diese Aufnahmen heute noch genauso fesselnd wie vor fast fünf Jahrzehnten.

Ricky Skaggs
began his career as a bluegrass “phenom,” taking up the mandolin at the age of five. Anxious to continue learning before his father could teach him more than a few chords, the kindergartener taught himself how to play chord progressions and sing at the same time. By the end of the year, he had performed “Ruby, Are You Mad at Your Man” on-stage with Bill Monroe, to great local acclaim.
After a well-received performance on Flatt & Scruggs’ television show the following year, little Ricky took up the violin and guitar. As a teenager, he befriended like-minded prodigy Keith Whitley and the two began learning old Stanley Brothers songs. In 1970, they were at a bar in West Virginia, waiting to hear Ralph Stanley perform. When the bluegrass legend called to say he’d be late, the bar owner put the boys on stage to keep the crowd happy. Stanley arrived shortly thereafter —and was floored by the teenagers’ note-perfect renditions. He invited them to join the Clinch Mountain Boys, officially.
In 1972, Skaggs left Stanley and – after a brief break from performing – joined influential progressive bluegrass bands the Country Gentlemen and the New South, then started his own, Boone Creek. Seeking an education in classic country, he joined Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band in 1977. Shortly thereafter, Skaggs recorded his first solo album, which quickly became a major bluegrass hit and resulted in a contract with Epic. By the end of 1981, Ricky had become a country star and – in the process – had brought traditional, roots music back to into mainstream country.
Over the next five years, Skaggs was a major artistic and commercial force within country music, with a string of Top 10 singles, CMA awards, and GRAMMY Award-winning albums. Between 1982 and early 1983 he had five straight No. 1 singles. His phenomenal success helped spark the New Traditionalist movement, opening doors for performers like George Strait and Randy Travis.
In the mid-1990s, Skaggs made the decision to return to traditional bluegrass, taking his band Kentucky Thunder on the road starting in 1997.
There is a tension always between how big can you make your audience and how pure you can keep your heart.
I can go on one bus now, instead of two busses and a tractor-trailer, and I can take these acoustic instruments. I don’t have to have microphones. I don’t have to have amps. If we want to pull off the road and go to a little schoolhouse, we could go play and entertain the kids. That’s just where I wanted to take it. I wanted to take it back to the front porch, you know? And so that’s what I did.
Skaggs continues to record—on Atlantic, Lyric Street, and his own Skaggs Family label, to win awards, and to perform to capacity crowds at concerts and festivals. In 2018, he was inducted into both the Country Music and Bluegrass Halls of Fame.
