- Part One: • Marty Stuart: COVID-19...
Marty Stuart is a five-time GRAMMY-winner, platinum recording artist, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from the Americana Music Association, Grand Ole Opry star, country music archivist, photographer, musician, and songwriter.
Since starting out singing gospel as a child, Stuart has spent over four decades celebrating American roots music. His teenage years on tour with bluegrass legend Lester Flatt in the ’70s were followed by six years in Johnny Cash’s band in the ’80s, and a chart-topping tenure as a solo artist in the ’90s.
Most recently, Stuart confirmed the 20th anniversary release of his celebrated record, The Pilgrim - Deluxe Edition for the first time ever on vinyl. These newly unearthed songs include features by Country music legends including Ralph Stanley, Connie Smith, Emmylou Harris, Earl Scruggs, and more.

This guy is a freaking living legend...and Kenny Vaughn? He's a monster.
@@djavidianmx1832 That whole band is killer !
He's the coolest dude in Nashville and will be until Jesus calls him home.
@@henrywilliams5712 Amen to that.
The last of the best.
The keeper of the Countrypolitan flame!
Marty helped save the integrity of several different styles of music. He's a leader and a legend!
Agreed. His Pilgrim album is one of the best ever made. No matter the genre. 14 years old and playing with Earl Scruggs. Holy Smokes!!!
I'm an old rock and roll guy but when I want to play along with good musicians I go to youtube to play with the guys from Nashville and these guys are some of the best and I keep coming back to them.
Best live country band around in my opinion.
They might be the only REAL country band around today.
Sharp guy. And he has the best guitar player I've ever seen in his band. Must be a blast.
Marty Stuart is a legendary talent. Love you Marty and the fabulous Superlatives.
This guy is magic. Knows everyone and everything. The true savior of traditional country and country rock. Could listen to him talk and work for hours. Keep rockin.
Just listening to Marty talk is pure treasure
Marty Stuart has done more to preserve country musics past than anyone I know... I believe he has over 6000 guitars, and many other important pieces of memorabilia spanning from the 40’s onward....
I think he should have a special night and given a “lifetime achievement award” ...and much more for all he means to country music...
Man Marty explains things and tells stories in a way that i can’t explain other than he is a living legend, great job Joe
Thank you too 92............Joe
Nobody as talented and sexy as Marty
Marty is an absolute wealth of history and information in his experiences!
Marty and the Superlatives, especially Kenny, are national treasures. Kenny's interviews with Otis Gibbs are the best music interviews I've ever seen. He's met hundreds of the best popular musicians of the last half of the 20th century and he doesn't have a bad word to say about a single one of them.
It's amazing how The Byrd's "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" from 1968 influenced so many musicians. I hated country music until I heard it and it still endures as one of the greatest country music records ever made. The fact that it was made by a folk, pop rock band of long hairs was a wake up call for many of us. Later I learned every song they played on that record.
This is an absolute GEM!! Marty Stewart rocks :)
Just saw Marty & the boys yesterday at AMT in Lancaster, Pa. & they blew the roof off! I swear, this man and this band are without a doubt, the most under rated group performing today! The effortless massive talent & chemistry of each of these gentleman is truly a sight to behold....just an amazing show by a true legend in Marty Stuart, thank God for this man and all he's done for country music....cant wait for the memoirs!..keep on keepin it real brother and see y'all in July at Penns Peak!
Marty, sweetheart you are wonderful. I 've loved you for years. Hillbilly Rock is one of my favorite songs. Thanks for all that you do.
At 12 years of age I had to be home when the streetlights came on - and Marty was touring with a band! Great musician and the best hair in show biz.
Lester Flatts, Kool & the Gang, and Chick Corea!? Okay, my mind is now officially broken! Thanks for this!
Great band that gives Marty room to play any genre
This is gold. I love hearing Marty talk about how he got started and how he learned to play. I have heard Marty talk about Sweetheart of the Rodeo before, and that's why I bought it. It's amazing to see the family tree that flows from the Byrds into so many different bands and artists. Thanks, Joe. I can't wait for parts 3 and 4. I wish Marty would do a show and tell with his mandolin.
I should also add that I have several albums with Chris Hillman playing with various other musicians and they’re all good. Basically, if you see Chris Hillman in the credits, just buy it.
@@Maydoggie You got that right, Steve. Chris Hillman is a true American treasure. Either directly or indirectly, he is probably responsible for more of my favorite music than anyone else I can think of.
There should be a separate interview for Marty's hair, as it has its own roadie & Union 🦁
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Marty, you are a true legend.
You are so humble and honest.
When I listen to various things I usually end up saying to myself; "that was a waste of time", but Marty holds my attention to every word. He's a wealth of information on Rockabilly/County etc. Love the stories of him traveling on the bus at a young age.
Just stumbled on this and sat right down to watch. There are two folks, same age, Wynton Marsalis and Marty Stuart who were fortunate enough to be there before the *old days* were over, and to understand and absorb what they experienced. As they have matured they have shared their treasure with us, innovated and preserved, educated us and given us remarkable good times. While remaining nice guys. I feel privileged to live in times when their music and stories and wisdom and experience is available to us via the internet, even when we are confined to home. Thank you for helping to preserve and spread the good news. 💕🙋😷🎵🎶
Thank you too Rachel for supporting our videos.... Best, Joe
It’s a Marty party!
Luv me some Marty Stuart!
Marty is my Man in Nashville! His bandmates are truly superlative!
Great band, great men in that band!
Great segment Joe, Marty is what I think every musician should be! Inspired and inspiring! His enthusiasm for great musicianship is very apparent and I feel that totally explains the Superlatives! The Marty Stuart Show is truly awesome! Thanks!💫
Thanks as always Larry.......Joe
Sweetheart of the Rodeo was an eye opener for me as well, when it first came out. So glad to hear that influence in Way Out West, which I think is one of the finest albums to ever come out, in any genre.
I was lucky enough to catch the Marty & the original Superlatives in Augusta, GA a few years back. Can't wait to see the New Superlatives as soon as this pandemic lets up.
Saw them a few years ago. Best show I ever saw.
I saw them on January 28th 2011 in Glasgow.
Marty Stewart and the Superlatives are the best country band on the planet.
Thanks for watching 4444.....Joe
❤Otis Gibbs brought me here. Great interviews and stories. Kenny Vaughn and Chris Scruggs are world class storytellers and musicians.
I got so excited when I saw this new segment. So much bonus info. Marty's band is more than Nashville country, their stripped down sound keeps the Bakersfield Sound alive too. Marty is such a Historian, I knew Chris was into knowing a lot of the history and how they played etc. Imagine the books or miniseries Marty and Chris could do. Not long after I moved to Nashville, I learned there were key people that I could learn from to understand the heart and soul of Nashville. For some reason, it was important for me to really understand the roots. If I had to get it down to four foundations, it was Marty, Eddie Stubbs on Sunday night, Vince Gill and Marion James. I really paid attention to those four. It just so happened that I became best friends with Marion the last few years before her passing. I learned about and met so much of the R&B community through her.
Marty is a living legend. He is looking a bit aged but still sharp as a tack
lucky you getting to meet Mr Marty who owns my fav guitar i have ever heard. his band is the only one I would love to see that still has all the members still alive but must admit i miss Pauls smile
Thanks for watching ginny...... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum thanks so much for the interviews
That Tele B bender has its own history, but that 1941 D-45 is other worldly!
In older times people were said to find their "calling" -- the great lifelong work they were meant to do, a sort of higher duty. Listening to Marty Stuart is so encouraging, to know that some people are still answering that call.
They don’t come any cooler than Marty world class picker world class story teller , I love to hear him talk about his roots.
My wife and I saw them a few weeks ago and it was incredible. The name of the band says it all. They are one of the last real country music bands out there.
Love the Superlatives. Not only keeping the traditional sounds alive, but carving their own niche. These dudes is LEGENDS now.
They play songs, where I ask myself, "Where's the pedal steel?" Of course, SOMETIMES they have a pedal steel.
Marty + Fabulous Superlatives are playing my not country town this weekend in April of 2023. Dream come true getting to see this band + I'm a classic rock guy. Totally surprised they are playing this gig I never thought I'd get to see them + especially within a few miles of my home . Be safe guys little city has it's share of shootings + crime.
Love Marty. Kenny Vaughan is a cool dude. I was on the sound crew at a festival for Marty and the guys and just missed the chance to have Kenny sit in with my band. He was at our gig as a spectator on Friday night, and I crewed for them on Saturday. He asked if we were playing again on Saturday night and unfortunately I had to tell him no. He would have been very welcome to come sit in if we would have played again. When they launched into Mr. Spaceman I was floored. I played that song for years with one of my bands.
Thanks for sharing Tom.....Joe
The holy modal rounders,
"if ya can't pay the rent ya gotta live out in a tent because it's move ahove a movin day"
This man inspires the life-long art student in me. I saw that fantastic Sweetheart show from the front row at New York's Town Hall. You've caught lightning in a bottle here, Joe--excellent interview. Can't wait for parts 3 & 4.
Thanks elle...... 3 & 4 coming soon....... Joe
Joe. So much enjoy these interviews. Can't wait to bring my family to MHOF when things get back to normal.
I look forward to seeing you and family here too... soon.... Best, Joe
Me too! Memphis as well.
Stax and Sun are must. The Rock and Soul museum too. Best, Joe
One the best interviews I've ever watched Joe asks a question then genuinely listens to answer without interruption thank you Joe well done. Way to many interviewers interrupt and are to busy thinking of the next question to listen to the reply. You've got hand it to Marty (and Kenny Vaughan) they are very generous when doing interviews plenty of interesting stories and a great wealth of country music knowledge.
Thanks Just…. Best, Joe
I had to chime in when Marty described hearing "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo". "Fusion" is a word commonly tossed around when it comes to the merging of Jazz with Rock. But rarely is it more apropos than when describing "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" by The Byrds. It is a fusion record in every sense of the word.
Hey Joe I ran across this interview and I just had to watch it again Marty is such a good person and Kenny is such a wizard with his guitar they are all cream of the crop and I love them. I hope you are doing well I have a lot of catching up to do with your videos and I look forward to doing that. Hang in there and I’ll be around… thanks
I had the pleasure of attending the 50th Anniversary of Sweetheart of The Rodeo concert in Raleigh North Carolina in October of 2018. One one of the BEST concert I have ever been to.
LOVED LOVED him having Roger on his program dang 1972 i was only out of high school for a year boy do I feel OLD
Thank you so much for these interviews Joe. I've been a subscriber for quite some time but don't recall commenting until Part 1. I love, and respect, the history you are preserving.
Thanks Joel....Joe
Best group, best all around and arrangers, best country drummer, mandolin ,guotar...
Love this band
Love marty and the entire group..
Marty Stuart, Chick Corea and Kool and the Gang, I would have Loved to see that show! What a diverse lineup that was!
As a Michigan State alum, I wonder: did they play for thousands of fans at Jenison Fieldhouse or Fairchild Auditorium ... or for a few hundred at Erickson Kiva? Being a pioneer isn't always popular.
Joe, you really are a wonderful interviewer - and this one is a gem. Marty's passion for music is infectious. I was lucky enough to catch
that Byrds Sweetheart show 4 times....and they were magical events. I can't think of a better band to be working with McGuinn/Hillman than
Marty and the Superlatives.
Thanks Rooster....Joe
Lovin' these videos with Marty. He's the real deal.
Thanks Joey.....Joe
Most awesome, Thank you :)
They have become my favorite musicians

I'm so glad he keeps the old country and others songs as such God bless you and your band9
Always a book of knowledge & love of the music that feels us up and he knows how to bring it to us. Loved him since the beginning & have loved to see him & the boys grow into their own special spot! 💙🎶🙏🌌
Sweetheart, I had to listen a few times to get it. Thank you Tommy Knouf.

Just a class act. I was privileged to spend an afternoon working with him 1997 or so and he was just totally cool in every way. Thanks again for being you Marty. God bless always. 🎸🎸🎸
Also a big hey ! to Kenny. Got to know him a little as well later on down the road. Always so kind and genuine and what a player.

Once again Joe a great great interview with Marty I had no idea he started that young born to do it no two ways around it a life sentence😎
Thanks Joe , awesome interview , and it's good to hear from Marty ..!
Thanks Andrew........Joe
One of your best interviews. Can't wait to be able to travel again and visit your museum.
I look forward to seeing you Randy.... Best.......Joe
He - *Marty* - has and plays *Clarence* *White's* " *White* / *Parsons* *B* - *Bender* " , and play it he does!
I took in the *BEST* show in decades back in April 2022 (15.04 ) at the La Mirada Theatre; a birthday present from two of me friends. *Marty* and the band *The* *Fabulous* *Superlatives* are one hell of a group! Non-stop entertainment, exploring multiple genres (Surf instrumentals! Damn it! Fantastique!), with their take on the *Count* *Five* *Psychotic* *Reaction* for the encore!
Great interview .. not many Marty's left.
Great interview Joe! Looking forward to the next installment! 👍👍😉😉👏👏
Thanks Steve........soon......... Joe
Marty....I really enjoy your Tele playing...you get a FABULOUS sound....so too cousin Kenny. Heard you play the mandolin at one hundred miles an hour as well in some illustrious company. Keep it coming. I love the music your band plays.
Man this is good stuff. I can't wait for parts 3 & 4 of this interview. I REALLY hope PBS will run all the Marty Stuart Show episodes so that those of us that don't have the RFD cable network can see them.
Thanks for watching Jim....Joe
I tried to watch every show .Best thing on T.V. Always great music, and Marty's warm fun atmosphere. Our national treasure. Superlatives rock!!
Once again, a great interview with a real musician who really loves making records and performing for the audience. His musical roots run deep. From Lester Flat and earl Scruggs. (Beverly Hillbilly’s theme to the Eagles!) Awesome. If you really don’t love making, you should be doing something it. I know the business is not perfect. But Marty found a way to make it work and make a lot of audiences happy.
Thanks for watching Skip...........Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum my pleasure Joe.
This is a Great One, Mr. C! Was honored last October to meet up with Kenny and Dave Roe at Sun Records and we cut about 7 of Johnny’s songs in a two hour session. Great guys! 🎸🎙🖤
On part 2 now....great interview Joe...they all are! Thank you! I have become so much more interested in the musicians behind the headliner than I am in the headliner over the past few years. Love learning about these guys and gals...UA-cam offers so much access to these folks and the studio musicians from over the years. It’s so cool to see all these people who played on the albums of my childhood and formative years.
Thanks for watching Dave... glad you’re enjoying them.....Joe
Thanks Joe for another awesome interview with one of the greatest.
Thanks again Ivan....Joe
What a great interview Two great men conversing Thanks Joe
Thank you Nelly.... very kind.... Best, Joe
Great interview maestro Joe, Bravo!
