Tributing someone as huge as Ricky Skaggs is no easy task. I realized for this to happen, I couldn't simply copy him, I had to CREATE like him. Also, sample his voice from a television interview. DJ Drebot and I drew from many influences here including Skaggs' early classic work - and his recent collaborations with Bruce Hornsby (for which this track is attributed). Also Rising Appalachia's version of the tune, and growing up in Florida had a huge influence on both of us for this track.
