Recording Artist Ricky Skaggs performs during the grand opening celebration of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on April 15, 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee.
July 9th marked an anniversary of sorts for Ricky Skaggs. His song "Highway 40 Blues" from the platinum-selling #1 Country Album, Highways & Heartaches hit #1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart in 1983. It wasn't his first nor his last hit. Since 1982, Skaggs has had 11 #1 songs, four #1 country albums and seven #1 bluegrass albums.

Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder will be taking a lot of those hits on the road for 17 shows between now and the first day of fall. He'll be appearing in the U.S., Canada and Switzerland.
