I love how Marty just mostly sits back and lets Kenny shine.

[@Dustin-Williams83]

Talent recognizes talent!

[@juscallmegrumpy2395]

These Four Guys were meant to be playing on a stage together.

[@RandyRugarMusic]

I think Marty is criminally underrated..

[@nancestef]

He's been getting a LOT of recognition in the past year or so...about damn time, too! :)

[@notbraindead7298]

The whole band is criminally underrated.

[@MrRlltide]

I’m a local and for those who grew up here, he’s not underrated, he’s a living legend that came up playing with Bill Monroe as a young boy live on stage and TV. Nashville, has turned their back to acts / talent like this to promote hip hop and Dixie cup music. Nashville is overrated and has lost its direction. The venue here is a prime example. They shuttered Ernest Tubbs Record Shop….. Simply a disgrace all around.

Clarence White must be proud, looking down as Marty plays his string bending guitar.

Cousin Kenny will go down in the history books🙏

[@10footyater]

Such an underrated Under-appreciated Fantastic Country Band …. They should be filling arena’s 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Marty alone is Nashville royalty🤠🎸 … & the Lads are the real thing 🎸🎤🥁🎤🎸🥁

[@UriahBennett]

If only they played Country like this on country radio.

[@davidcudlip6587]

To many record and radio bigshots that weren't brought up on this style. Clueless in the offices.

[@rylieriley]

Once upon a time I didn't know who Kenny Vaughan was. Pretty darn sad, isn't it? I like that man more than I can tell you. He's one of the best guitar pickers out there.

[@edgarpoe7255]

Makes one wonder who else is out there waiting to be 'dsicovered.'

[@rylieriley]

@@edgarpoe7255 It sure does.

[@TimGuitarcouk]

I stumbled across Kenny in 2022, when the Fabulous Superlatives played Long Road here in the UK. I’ve been obsessed ever since.

[@seosamhv]

Wish they’d visit Canada soon!

[@12babyapes59]

Me too , but comedian Dean Del Ray interviewed him on his podcast, and I went looking for his music.

[@richirvine4519]

I just love the way Marty Stuart gives up the stage and allows others to show their stuff. He is a great performer and I think very humble.

[@edwardkujawa]

absolutely a great guy and performer

[@scooterhazelwood7782]

Kenny Vaughn and Marty Stuart are the absolute best combo in the Tele world....... Both are freakin' machines.

[@g.j.haycock1064]

The guy that played the guitar solo at the end seems like he’s pretty good. He’ll probably go far.

[@JtClaypool]

Hahahahaha!

[@Tonetwisters]

Boy. IF this band was tight, they might be successful ...

[@micahpastore]

Yeah these guys are so good!

[@oig40203]

Marty is a great front man, but he seems just as content to stand back and just be a guitar player. I love that.

[@jamesryan5436]

Man sure can play guitar too .

[@humblepie8638]

Classy outfit these guys. Great music.

[@matthewtaylor2185]

Watch him backing up others on the opry! Marty has paid plenty of dues. Lester Flatt used to joke about being "Marty stuart's guitar player" when Marty was playing in lester's band

[@rockinredneck57]

No big star attitude, he just wants to play music and is happy to showcase his Superlatives. They all deserve it too.

[@Tonetwisters]

Gotta little bit of Grandpa Jones in him, me thinks ... Always entertaining!

[@jaylawz1]

Came out n just ripped it!!!

[@robandrews4925]

imagine that your back-up guitar player is Marty Stuart!

[@user-cg7dg7uv8f]

Handsome Harry Stinson is such a killer, groovin' drummer. AND an amazing singer to boot. What a tremendous band the Superlatives are

[@mickeyfarmer9217]

In my honest opinion, Marty Stuart is the absolute Boss Man of real country music. And I want to hold that B-bender before I die!

[@angomnaresh9859]

Wonderful guitars

[@CrockettsCabin]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the production value of this recording?

[@lynfield1]

I was just thinking the same thing. How do they get such a great live sound recording?

[@franglediddup]

It's better than the record, the whole gig is....testament to their straight off the bat skills

[@jeffferg8498]

And good quality vintage amps.

[@seosamhv]

It’s next level. Bass sounds so good

[@lynfield1]

This is my FAVOURITE video in the entire KZbin Universe. I watch it every single day. Simply the best sounding band I've ever heard. They just walk onto that tiny stage, put on their guitars and blast out with that fantastic sound. Amazing....

[@do2theg]

absolutely the best. Just shred it. boys can flat out play.

[@EXQCmoi]

You can't be serious - but i'm afraid you are. You know what, to stay close at home, try this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWLPdYefgt13a6M

[@wesleymarkmusic403]

Agree, they just come out and PLAY, no hype, no ego, just really good music!!

[@christianscazzieri]

Marty Stuart plays the SMARTEST and BADASSEST rhythm guitar ever in the history of mankind. Such a clever and tasteful musician I kinda hate him for being so cool. God he's SO GOOD.

[@harleythompson8417]

The licks he plays behind Kenny’s vocals are delicious!

[@peterwright4647]

I always get a kick out of how happy this bass guitarist is. Looks like he is having a blast. I guess being on stage with these guys is like winning the lotto. Was kinda sad when he went out on his own.

[@dennyweaver3001]

I watch this everyday, awesome

[@rickjason215]

No pedals. They plugged in and played.

[@kevinpwebb]

Kenny must have at least 6 pedals on the floor in front of his amp, which also has reverb and trem but whatever.

[@dennisbuckley6556]

Marty just ripping it up ! Kenny, forget about it. The whole damn band!!!😮 truly I lack the fabulous superlatives, Absolute Bad Asses.

[@jschwartzdrums]

These guys are ridiculous!! SO Good!! These are some of the best musicians to ever play country music together in one band.

[@nohero178]

Damn that was wild.

[@Ridendrty]

Man thats some good guitar right there👌

[@timharris6835]

This country band is such a well oiled machine, two real hot Telecaster Slingers backed by hot bass and drums.

[@FenderTele]

Telepathic Telecasters and cooking Fender combos with bass and drums absolute perfection

[@bass7842]

Got to drop some love for that bass player. In case you were wondering... that's how you do it. Such a joyful performance. Sick little right hand slide at the top was also cool.

[@bgrigg07]

Kenny is such an amazing talent and is one of the few players that can top Marty's sartorial splendor! And Marty is happy to step back and play rhythm. Such a gracious and humble man!

[@hoganshideout]

All true. And Marty killed it on that last solo. Great stuff.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

It’s mind blowing when a band has two superb lead guitarists like this with different playing styles.

[@josephtravers777]

Marty is playing some pretty wicked fills on the Bender while Kenny is singing. Dude is smoother than butter.

[@harleythompson8417]

@@josephtravers777 - Those licks behind Kenny’s vocals are just divine!

Marty can play anything Kenny does and then some.

Marty playing that B bender is just so sublime.

[@fortunatoofamontillado1059]

Man alive .. Id love me one of them B bender teles

[@henryedwards6408]

Clarence White is looking down on Marty and Kenny with a big smile on his face. Classic guitars should be heard and not just seen in a museum. This is the first b-bender ever made ( both prototype and finished product!). Thanks to Marty it’s been rockin’ for decades.

[@bareknuckles2u]

@@henryedwards6408 Amen to all of that!

[@jensschettler1732]

@@henryedwards6408 and it is one of the best sounding teles ive ever heard. You can it in a "reverb" interview and it sounds sweet even on the bridge pickup. You can hear the wood and the air. Awesome axe.

Impossible to wipe the smile off my face during that one. And how cool is Marty? Just as happy to be a sideman. Damn, those boys know how to play those guitars proper.

This is some of the best, ever! Little stage at Tubbs Record Store, no fancy acoustic mixing etc. Just Marty and the Superlatives blasting you into another dimension. Kenny is on fire here.

[@dennyrane]

Good Grief - Walk out...plug in...step up to the mic.....and take off in high gear. Nothing like a talented player that just plugs straight into the amp. Fingers and talent do the rest. GREAT video. Thanks for posting. best

[@Barncatfish]

That is one fabulous quartet. Absolutely locked on, great bass, tele clinic solos.

[@PacoPascualmusic]

i love the bass player, he smiles all the way, what a band !!!

[@thespiritof76..]

Paco Pascual can’t call the bass players name, but he’s been o many of big stages, but was all smiles gettin down with the young fella that has no idea he’s not as talented/tested as the fellas backing him up!

[@edmahonejr.9364]

That’s Paul Martin...he’s married to Duane Allen (of the oak ridge boys) daughter...and many years ago Paul was the lead singer for the band Exile...when J P Pennington left the band....

[@oldermusiclover]

he does indeed have a mega watt smile

[@mattosmond5919]

Yes, Paul Martin’s wife is the daughter of Oak Ridge Boys singer Duane Allen. He actually sang baritone with them after Steve Sanders’ departure and just before William Lee Golden came back.

[@roundbaby4749]

Paul is also by far the best guitarist in the band. And pedal steel player , and sound engineer. He’s the whole package and a great Christian man with a lovely family with whom he plays with these days. I can’t say enough good about the boy. I’ve. Know. Him for 45 years and he’s as humble now as he was just a young rock n roller.

[@pauljohnson8847]

Seeing Cousin Kenny and and Marty live in either combination is about the most fun you'll ever have. This whole band is a compilation of country history we'll never see again.

Got to be honest I’m a bit late to the party where Kenny and Marty’s music is concerned but it’s given me a new lease of love for country music. Both Marty and Kenny’s guitar sound is incredible on this, none of the shrill attack some telecasters throw out!

[@steveparish9210]

This is REAL country music!

[@rickylakemusic]

me too, late to the party. only, wow, glad i made it... LOL i got music too. it's what i do. kinda like ol' kenny and marty...

[@joegrifka1190]

In another KZbin offering Kenny talks about what they play through. No pedals. Just the straight sound of the Telecasters through vintage Fender amps. Kenny uses a Princeton. Marty a Deluxe. Marty makes it sound like a pedal steel. Just awesome musicianship.

This is great. Thank you
