One Way Track, released in 1978, was Boone Creek's second and final album and the inaugural release of the newly founded Sugar Hill Records. The band is now remembered chiefly for its personnel: a young Ricky Skaggs on mandolin, fiddle, and guitar, with Jerry Douglas on dobro, Terry Baucom on banjo, Wes Golding on guitar, and Steve Bryant on bass — a lineup whose members would shape contemporary bluegrass and acoustic country for decades afterward. Boone Creek sat slightly ahead of its commercial moment, too rooted in tradition for the progressive crowd and too forward-looking to read as revivalism. The playing is exact and the singing strong, with Skaggs's emerging gifts already obvious. Short-lived as the band was, One Way Track stands as a document of musicians on the verge of remaking the music, caught in the brief window when they were doing it together.
