 It
was recently announced that the legendary Ricky
Skaggs has been nominated for the 42nd Annual
Gospel Music Association Dove Awards. Skaggs will
be competing in the Country Album of the Year
category for Mosaic. Gordon Kennedy and Skaggs
Family Records also received a nomination for
their work on the album as producer and record
label, respectively.
“I’m very excited about the Dove
nomination,” says Skaggs, “Mosaic is a
project that is near and dear to my heart. It
seems to have a life all its own. I believe it
will continue touching lives for years to
come.”
Mosaic was released in August of 2010 and is
Skaggs’ return to a full band sound, a style
that made him one of the best-selling artists in
country music history. He worked closely with
fellow GRAMMY winner Gordon Kennedy to create an
album with music and lyrics that speak to
Skaggs’ faith, mak-ing “music that is
in my head and in my heart,” says Skaggs.
If Mosaic wins, this will be Skaggs’ third
Dove Award; having won Bluegrass Recorded Song of
the Year in 2001 for "Are You Afraid To
Die"and Bluegrass Album of the Year in 2008
for Salt Of The Earth.
