In Kentucky Traveler, Ricky Skaggs, the music legend who revived modern bluegrass music, gives a warm, honest, one-of-a-kind memoir of forty years in music—along with the Ten Commandments of Bluegrass, as handed down by Ricky's mentor Bill Monroe; the Essential Guide to Bedrock Country Songs, a lovingly compiled walk through the songs that have moved Skaggs the most throughout his life; Songs the Lord Taught Us, a primer on Skaggs's most essential gospel songs; and a bevy of personal snapshots of his musical heroes.

For readers of Johnny Cash's autobiography, lovers of O Brother Where Art Thou, and fans of country music and bluegrass, Kentucky Traveler is a priceless look at America's most cherished and vibrant musical tradition through the eyes of someone who has lived it.

Ricky Skaggs is one of the most prominent singers and musicians in the history of bluegrass and country music. He is a perennial Grammy Award-winner and continues to make records and tour with his band, Kentucky Thunder.

Arthur Flavell has worked in a variety of occupational fields, ranging from construction to broadcast radio and television to aviation-both as a pilot and an airfield electronics maintainer. Underlying these seemingly disparate endeavors is a keen regard for language. It reveals itself in a fascination with stories and storytelling; a constant search for new and strange words and worlds. This love was engendered at an early age through reading and listening to storytellers ply their craft. The ongoing exposure to new facets of language and the vistas this opens in the mind is perhaps the greatest reward of all. Quite simply, words are magic. Arthur hopes that you enjoy some of his.
