Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@guitarsword1]

Coolest guy in Country music, Marty Stuart

[@1954crc]

Yeah,he's great!

[@danielcombs3207]

@@guitarsword1 He has the best live band. They are as musically tight as any band I’ve seen live.

[@johnnyx9892]

REAL American country music. Young people take note. This is what you should strive to be.

[@bradparker9664]

Amen, Johnny. One is hard pressed to beat Marty and his Superlatives, which truly are fabulous

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Today's country music is only CMINO, Country Music In Name Only. Not the real thing.

[@johnnyx9892]

@VidarLund-k5q Agree 100%

[@hankstokes33]

I met Marty back around 2005, and have even been to his home in Hendersonville...the home he used to live in beside Johnny Cash. I went there to have him autograph 2 copies of his book of photographs. He was nice, and very accomodating!! He spent time to autograph the books for me, and took time to talk to me, my uncle, and my daughter. He's such genuine, sweet, friendly person. I've seen him around town dozens of times, at gas stations, in Kroger, at the DMV twice, and several other places. I'd see him sitting at red lights, at Wal-Mart, and even saw him a few times at Cracker barrel and other restaurants. he's one of the best in the business, and is in no way cocky or stuck up. I've been a fan for years, but after meeting and talking to him on dozens of occasions, I've grown to respect him as a singer, songwriter, but more importantly, I respect him as a person. All around great guy!!! And just for the record, the 45 people who gave this video a "thumbs-down" are idiots!

[@daviswall3319]

Right on. The guys that are from Mississippi that get "IT", get it all the way. My hat is off to Marty Stuart

[@scrimmerman]

Yes! Met and talked with him twice. Once at Gruhn's Guitars in Nashville and another time after one of his shows here in NC. They just don't come any nicer and genuine than Marty! Just an uber talented musician and all around super nice guy.

[@keithrichardscorpse1230]

More Bluegrass than country IMHO

[@scrimmerman]

@@keithrichardscorpse1230 More of the Bluegrass influences were featured here, but if you've ever seen them live, you would know they can do country (REAL country, not that crap on Top 40 Country radio these days) better than anyone. Seen them do a few Surf rock tunes along with some Blues/Rock too. They even can get a little jazzy in some of their instrumentals.

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

Marty & Kenny are Musicians Musicians & bring Country outta the grave from what it use be

[@caribman10]

Just remember when you're watching the CMA's and other country "award" shows that you never see Marty. Think on that.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

because he doesn't chart

[@sledge1960]

Nashville wouldn't know Country from a kick in the ass.

[@rogerdat7807]

Tom Petty famously once said modern country music isn't 'country' at all, its bad rock and roll. Marty is way too country for CMA's.

[@jodylowe8476]

Country music has gone the way of crappy pop music. The most talented are certainly not the ones getting awards nowadays. Compare any Grammy for recently for Album of the year to Bridge over Trouble Water, Innervisions, Songs in the Key of Life, Joshua Tree or Rumours. Now we have Green Day's Dookie (literally), Taylor Swift. My god.

[@fastsetinthewest]

I stopped watching CMA. Great comment caribman.

[@amberborrego5660]

This man is the glue in the country music business. Love ya Marty!!!!

[@davidrice3337]

Not hardly - $$ is the glue -

[@hccarder]

Hats off to whoever mixed this. Damn good.

[@nets1776]

Got that right! I've seen this a few times and I'm always amazed at the sound. Saw him in a small theater and complimented his engineer after the show. Always amazing.

[@tiki_trash]

My hat is off, but the question on everyone's mind is if Marty has ever shown his throat?

[@gazjaz2010]

well, give the musicians credit lol mixing themselves around one mic, see? 😉

[@douglasdegraff8335]

I Love Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives. Does anyone out there remember KFAT? Still listening in 2024, 2025 next month.

And his mics appear to be ribbon mics, maybe Rupert Neve versions? Some of the best sequences on the “Marty Stewart show “which is in reruns now are the sequences recorded with an AEA RCA 44 clone. The way they can blend vocals on one mic is so old school but so correct!

[@dozerrl1011]

Marty's like a fine wine, he just gets better and better with age

[@billchurch1145]

Kenney and Marty are two of the most gifted pickers to ever play a Martin guitar, or Fender Telecaster, IMHO.

I’ve never been a country fan, which I now see was really small minded. I never heard of Marty or his amazing band this is definitely country music and I now listen and have a lot to catch up with. Great songs and lots of soul and talent thanks for opening my mind Marty you rock!

[@RichardHandal301]

Find and watch the 10 part doc series on country music. Marty’s like the main voice on there. He’s truly a historian. Fantastic guy and wonderful to hear speak on music and musicians.

[@dougdavis8986]

That's because this is real country music and most of the formulaic schlock that gets played for the past 20 years by corporate radio stations can barely be considered music.

[@tonyguyer]

Unbelievably talented band. I got to say whoever engineered this performance was brilliant. The mic selection was excellent. Those AEA ribbons were smooth along with a 57 on Kenny. And blending all those elements with a condenser on the snare. And then the vocal blend with the bands skill. Beautiful A work of art and science.

100% - and he knows who is as an artist regardless of any distractions out there - big respect for Marty! I have friends in Nashville who know him and say he is a genuinely good person, as well.

[@bedmac2]

I hope you saw they released a live album from that tour for Record Store Day 2024 a few weeks back. A few can still be found on the RSD Market page. On vinyl but I suspect it is possible it will come out on CD at some point. Regardless, Roger McGuinn has uploaded all the tracks from the album to KZbin.

[@donaldmarshall1409]

Marty Stuart's personality illuminates the presence of the crude and refined core of American country. The Superlatives assist Marty on their well trodden trails of legendary musicians, keeping the gears and bearings of the origins of American music well oils and greased to help American music's origins to be mainatined and move justly along with the changing times. They keep Mark Twains steamboat chugging along with new saloon rhythme (Mark Twain Country Music)
