Ricky Skaggs released Highways & Heartaches in September 1982, and the album quickly moved to the number 1 spot on the Country Album chart, and spawned 3 number 1 singles. Besides being a well polished example of Ricky's Bluegrass/Country hybrid style, it also spearheaded the neo-traditionalist movement that brought an end to the more pop oriented "Urban Cowboy" era. The album featured Ricky's crack road band, and a couple of cuts with studio heavy hitters Lloyd Green and Joe Osborn. Besides the incendiary Telecaster playing of Ray Flacke, Skaggs himself burned on the albums closer, "One Way Rider," using a unique instrument built by Joe Glaser, a 5-string, bender equipped, Mandocaster. Today we look at the impact of the album, and we look at the Glaser built Mandocaster.
