Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby

The great Ricky Skaggs will be reuniting with Bruce Hornsby to do a 'live' album called "Cluck Ol' Hen,' which will be released on Skaggs Family Records. The album will be released on Tuesday, August 20th.

Skaggs and Hornsby first collaborated in 2006 for the album "Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby," and have been touring together this past year in support of that album.

"We recorded quite a few of the live performances from our tour and came up with a really great CD," said Skaggs. "It's a great merging of two different styles. Listening to this live CD just reminded me of how much fun we had touring together. Every show was a gift."

Hornsby, who has collaborated with many great artists adds "I've been fortunate to be a part of scores of collaborations through the years. Along with my time with the Grateful Dead, and the various Spike Lee projects, I consider the long-time association with Ricky to be the deepest and most satisfying collaboration of them all. Hopefully this record captures the sound of a bunch of guys having a great time playing music together. That's what it sounds like to me."
