In Their Words: “I’ve been working in my recording studio for the last few years recording songs that I’ve heard all through my life. These new recordings are the ‘soundtrack of my life,’ so to speak. I had a great time making these records and I hope others will enjoy them too. … Taking classic hits like ‘Ruby’ and ‘Ruby Baby’ and putting them together in a different way is really fun for me. It shows that a great song holds on to its greatness no matter how you serve it up. Bluegrass-style takes some songs to another level of enjoyment. I love this process, and I think lots of other people probably like it too. I really hope so!” — Ray Stevens
