After the dismal failure of the Urban Cowboy era, a generation of "new traditionalists" -- George Strait, Ricky Skaggs, the Judds, Randy Travis, and Ricky Van Shelton -- brought country out of its post-Urban Cowboy doldrums by reminding young audiences what made the music great in the first place.

The Raconteurs are an alt-rock supergroup lead by Jack White and Brendan Benson.  They recently shot this video with Ricky Skaggs and Ashley Monroe.

Like Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs is not only a gifted singer and songwriter but a talented musician. After leaving radio behind, Ricky opened up one of Bluegrass music's most revered labels. "The High Notes" is a marriage of Skaggs' classic country hits with bluegrass arrangements.

Sugarland, Ricky Skaggs and Willie Nelson highlight releases this month.
