Professional Career

Stuart’s self-titled debut album was released by Columbia in 1985. Stuart’s first single, “Arlene,” was included on the soundtrack, and it became his first chart entry on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. In 1986, three more songs from the album charted: Steve Forbert’s “Honky Tonker” and “All Because of You,” as well as Stuart’s own “Do You Really Want My Lovin’.” These albums, on the other hand, did not do well in the charts. Stuart is well-known for his vast country music memorabilia collection. In 2007, “Sparkle & Twang: Marty Stuart’s American Musical Odyssey” included some of his series at the Tennessee State Museum.

In 1989, he returned to Nashville and signed with MCA Records after briefly rejoining the Sullivans. That year, Hillbilly Rock was released on that label. Tony Brown and session guitarist Richard Bennett co-produced the record, which had four singles on the Hot Country Songs chart. The first song was a version of Johnny Cash’s “Cry! Cry! Cry!” followed by Stuart and Kostas’ “Don’t Leave Her Lonely For Long.”

Stuart released Honky Tonkin’s What I Do Best in 1996, and the title track (another duet with Tritt) and “You Can’t Stop Love” were both modest chart hits that year. Stuart received the Country Music Association’s Vocal Event of the Year award for the title track. Nash gave the song a “A-,” noting that “Thanks to You” was influenced by The Beatles, and “The Mississippi Mudcat and Sister Sheryl Crow” was influenced by Delta blues. This marked the end of his stay at MCA Records.

Country Music, released by Columbia Records in 2003, was his next album. Stuart formed Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives for this record, which included Harry Stinson on drums, Kenny Vaughan on guitar, and Brian Glenn on bass guitar. Covers of Porter Wagoner’s “A Satisfied Mind,” Carl Butler and Pearl’s “Sundown in Nashville,” Johnny Cash’s “Walls of a Prison,” and the Merle Haggard duet “Farmer’s Blues” were included on the records.

Stuart “considers himself more of a stylist than a musician,” according to Kate Meyers of Entertainment Weekly in 1992, “meaning he gets by with a combination of approaches…rather than relying on a brilliant voice of his own,” citing Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe, and Muddy Waters as his major musical influences. Stuart’s distinctive clothes and hairstyle established his musical appearance in the 1990s.

The Marty Stuart Show, hosted by Stuart, presents classic country music in the vein of The Porter Wagoner Show, Flatt & Scruggs, the Wilburn Brothers Show, and Hee Haw. The Marty Stuart Show premiered on RFD-TV at 8:00 p.m. on November 1, 2008. The network continues to broadcast old episodes of the show under the title The Best of the Marty Stuart Show, despite the fact that no new episodes have been made lately.
