Mandolinist Doppelgangers

I'm listening to The Moonshine Show this morning, where James Reams is sitting in with Jeff Kandel. (They were kind enough to dedicate a song from The Bray Brothers' Prairie Bluegrass album to me. When Jeff announced their Urbana address (419 W. Main Street), I realized that I sometimes walk by it on my way into the office!)

They just played a track from Ricky Skaggs' forthcoming solo CD, Songs My Dad Loved. (Ricky plays all the instruments and does all the singing on the disc.)

I went to the Skaggs Family website to check out the album and found this cover photo:



Ok, so is it just me, or is Ricky stealing some of Marty Stuart's hairstyle secrets?

You be the judge:



Long lost brothers? Maybe...
