The title track and 'Western Girls' were hits. Stuart released albums on Sugar Hill and later Columbia, but did not break through until 'Hillbilly Rock' for MCA in 1989. Stuart later joined the Man in Black's band and eventually became - for awhile anyway - his son-in-law. The crowed responded enthusiastically, leaving its mark on Stuart.įollowing his stint with Flatt, Stuart released his first album on a tiny album and did session work for such artists as Johnny Cash. That quickly turned into a full-time gig with Flatt until he died in 1979.Īn epiphany of sorts occurred in 1972 when the band played at Michigan State sandwiched between Gram Parsons and The Eagles. At age 12 in 1972, he joined Lester Flatt for a weekend gig on the road. In fact, his upbringing was in bluegrass. Stuart has a well-earned for being outside of the country music mainstream. He also may produce a tribute record to Hank Williams Sr. He also has been producing country legend of yesteryear Connie Smith, who will have a new disc on Warner Brothers after a long hiatus. The most recent one in June included Shelby Lynn, Delbert McClinton and Parnell.īut Stuart indicated five shows were about enough. The specials featured artists who he personally liked with them playing together. Last year, he started the Marty Party television specials. There's something that can't be replaced with a studio player.'īesides his own recording, Stuart has become busy with other projects. You get inside of each other's minds, inside of each other's abilities. 'You ride down the road together for 200 days a year. 'I wanted to use them more,' Stuart says of his band. Dwight Yoakam also utilizes his backing band. Lee Roy Parnell did with his last album to much success. The idea of using one's band to record country discs is exceedingly rare. The band was a powerhouse in concert with Stuart letting the band play out, not roping them in.

Stuart is backed on four of the 11 tracks by various members of his crack band - guitarist Brad Davis, Bassist Steve Arnold, drummer Gregg Stocki and steel player Gary Hogue. I just didn't feel comfortable listening to it. 'I used to really (dislike when) my singing would come on, and I'd walk out of the room. 'I feel like I enjoy more singing now than I ever have,' says Stuart. The disc, produced by MCA label executive Tony Brown and Justin Niebank, contains more of a focus on Stuart's singing than previous releases. It means nothing other than it's a way into get into 'Rocket Ship.' This thing has got to have some words to go with it.

When they barked, they sang like country music people to his ears. 'I was over at Jimmy Martin's house over Christmas. 'Your guess is as good as mine,' Stuart says, when asked where the song came from.

Stuart also delves into the blues with 'The Mississippi Mudcat and Sister Sheryl Crow' on which bluegrass legend 'King' Jimmy Martin starts off with a spoken intro about his dogs, which he names after the country stars he thinks they sound like when they bark. He said, 'I don't think Del would care.' I said, 'good.'' I turned into 'Sweet Love.' I talked with Tom Petty (who recorded it with Shannon) about it. It sounded like a hit, but the lyrics were all negative. The latter was not the original version from the man who gave us 'The Runaway.' 'It came to me, and it was called 'Cheap Love,' Stuart says. While last time around, Stuart did the instrumental 'Marty Stuart Goes to the Moon,' here he boards his 'Rocket Ship,'an ode to carnal pleasure and the late Del Shannon's bouncy 'Sweet Love,' about a man pleading for it, but being hung 'out there like a puppet on a string.' The album, of course, has its more honky tonk, hillbilly rock moments as well. Stuart even shows a tender side on a few love ballads, 'Shelter From the Storm,' which is acoustic based, 'You Can't Stop Love,' the mid-tempo 'I'll Be There For You' and the closing, soft sounding 'So Many People' with Stuart's mandolin spicing the song. 'Honky Tonkin's' infused with an energy, both vocally and musically, not found as often on previous affairs. This record sounds like a successful (disc).' Last time, it felt like a very proper record. A couple will stand the test of time real well. I didn't start recording until the sun went down. Stuart offered another explanation for the difference on this release.
