Any Marty and/or Kenny fans out there? It's one of the best shows on the road and you should never miss them when they come to your town. ❤

[@vayabroder729]

Definitely the best band I’ve ever seen.

[@artbyshan]

Saw Marty with Travis Tritt back in the 90's. Had no clue who he was. IMO- He stole the show. People actually started asking for an encore (Even after Travis- People were chanting Marty - Marty). Instantly a fan....However, I lost touch with music for a while. Took a chance on the Pilgrim in the late 90's (I think). Awesome_Liked that even better. Heck, I ain't even a country fan, and that is one of my favorite albums. Seen him twice since (Paul Martin bass, then Chris Scruggs). My assessment (For whatever it's worth)- One of the few acts that get better with time. Honestly those dudes can play/sing anything. Just dare em'

[@matthewtaylor2185]

Dude, I took my son to his first real concert to see marty and the superlatives for his 9th birthday! Wow, those guys come out with a full musical assault on the audience. Unbelievable how good they are. We'll go back when we can.

[@Gorilla.Guitar]

wholeheartedly agree!.. i ve seen them 3x. twice with Chris Stapleton. openers?.. debatable, i just say they came on first. up in Plymouth, NH 2 yrs ago i saw them again & i brought a telecaster pickguard with me & got marty to sign it. tried to get kenny's but he was headed, lol. not that there's anything wrong with straight country music but, if anybody watching thinks that these guys are "straight country", forget it. they, rock, swing, croon and roll.. dont believe me?.. they closed that show with the old '60s psychedelic song "psychotic reaction". if i had a mic, id drop it. great stuff, from great people, including you Otis. keep up the good work!

[@tvcdboombox1]

Saw Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives for the first time earlier this summer in Lancaster, PA. Great show! Lots of energy. And Marty signed autographs in the lobby after the show!

[@DylanWayne662]

I love hearing Kenny’s stories. I met him last year while playing at a festival in Philadelphia Mississippi. Came up and introduced himself after we got done. He was super nice and humble. Even complimented my playing. I was pretty star struck.

[@donny_doyle]

Dude! Right on

[@DylanWayne662]

@@donny_doyle I was so shocked that i couldn’t really talk. He probably thought I was rude. Coolest moment of my life.

[@donny_doyle]

@DylanWayne662 it's a great feeling being complimented by other music people we love. Continue to rock my brother. Guitar IS the best!!

[@DylanWayne662]

@@donny_doyle you’re absolutely right! Same to you my friend.

[@musicman1976]

Love Kenny!! I see him every yr in Lancaster Pa. Alot of Great Pics. He signed my Paisley Esquire for me this yr and Marty signed it last yr. Tightest band ot there now 🎸 🎶 ❤️

[@chrisevans1546]

The Superlatives put on a show that features a classic, and sadly also a dying form of entertainment. Engaging, light-hearted, and fun. To top it all off, when you buy a ticket you are watching the best of the best play their instruments and sing. Top notch timing, great rhythm, and harmonies that will blow your mind. I encourage anyone who's never seen Mart & the Superlatives to buy a ticket and take the ride.

[@dale116dot7]

I get tickets to any show he does close to my hometown. Highly recommended, it’s one of the best shows out there.

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

Marty tells some fun stories on stage. I’m sure if possible He has a specific story for the town he playing.

[@artemisXsidecross]

I turn 80 years old today, and could not want anything more than the smile this interview left me with. ☮

[@dalesmyth7398]

Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday! I've got the same smile, only 67 though. Cheers.

Kenny's the reason I discovered the channel. Otis is why I keep coming back to the channel. Thanks!

[@tonyrobinson1636]

Exactly the same here. Great stuff!

[@danielcombs3207]

Kenny tells the best stories and I like his demeanor. Otis and his guests have given me the opportunity to discover other music artists. Thanks Otis

[@nathanmorganmusic5192]

Love Kenny! Opened for the Superlatives in 2011 and was playing my ‘54 strat. Kenny came out and walked right up to me and introduced himself. He played the strat and we talked gear ❤️

[@Toby458]

Cool story Nathan!

[@donny_doyle]

So awesome, KV is the man. Coolest ever!!

[@austinknowlton1783]

Kenny Vaughn is one of my guitar heroes. Love ya Kenny! Thanks for bringing us this Otis.

[@jeffd3660]

Kenny is great story teller and guitarist , I could listen to him all day , thanks Otis

[@plawlor_usa]

Vaughan is a complete badass.

[@matthewtaylor2185]

Otis, you deserve a major award for these awesome interviews you put together! Thank you!

[@paultorbert6929]

Marty is one of the tastiest guitarists/mandolinist ever !!!!

[@StanleyCullerEsq.]

I wonder how man centuries it would take, talking to Kenny, for him to run out of amazing stories.

[@wittry2]

I love Kenny Vaughn. I could listen to him all the time. Thanks, Otis!

[@mykonine6095]

Kenny’s stories are the best. Thank you, Otis.

[@jeffkeeton4787]

This is pure gold. Just fascinating stuff. I sure miss their tv show. I never missed an episode.

[@scuffmacgillicutty7509]

The first impressions of Don and Glenn are extremely powerful.

[@NVRAMboi]

He nailed it.

[@walterjebe8703]

You can count me as one of the people that not only enjoy but appreciate your interviews! Excellent work!

[@davidwarren5785]

Cousin Kenny gets my vote for World's Most Interesting Man. Otis is one of the few interviewers who is convinced what the interviewee has to say is the most important part of the interview. Always outstanding work by Otis!

[@rustybeltway2373]

I was just binging on Johnny Paycheck when i got this notification. Kenny is worth stopping for! If anybody out there hasn't seen Marty's band, do yourself a favor man and go.

[@aidanmaxwell1019]

Damn you Kenny, I’m gonna toss and turn thinking about that lost Haggard record for the rest of my days!

[@bradparker9664]

I have a feeling Kenny is one of those people who could read you the phone book and you'd still be glued to every word.

[@davidstanton1261]

Can't get enough of Kenny's stories: born story teller, God Bless!! Thanks Otis

[@ScottStentenFilms]

its one dimensional,,it doesnt have that sound that you feel like you can reach into,,,love that 15:30

[@robbygaume600]

I sorely miss the Marty Stuart Show.

[@joshporter08]

Kenny is a national treasure. The Superlatives absolutely deserve to be called the best country band in the land. I’ve seen them live twice and they killed it both times.

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives with Kenny Vaughn have been my favorites for a few years now; they're my favorite kind of band, they play songs they like, Great songs that everyone likes, and Country music has all of other kinds of music in it. I just know I'll watch this viseo a dozen times. Thanks, Otis.

[@MurrayWilliams]

Kenny is always my favorite of your guests. He seems like an incredible hang.

[@ClintonCaraway]

BEST EAGLES COMMENT IN THE HISTORY OF KZbin!!!

[@bradparker9664]

You"re reading my mind.

[@user-kx3jw9oj6f]

Kenny has become my favorite living guitar player ! Thanks Otis !!

[@1coopjsn]

In the PBS country music documentary that came out last year or so -- Marty was the most eloquent, well spoken and insightful person who was interviewed. He has really seen it all and has such a great way with words. What a gem of a guy. I always enjoy Kenny's anecdotes on your videos. Thank you.

[@ventintothemic]

I loved this interview. I love the Marty Stuart band, too. Big fan. It was great seeing Kenny Vaughn smile and laugh. Every time I've seen him on TV, he's always quite stoic. What a great player...and obviously a good guy. Thanks, Otis.

[@SaabJitsu]

Another great sit down Brother Otis and I agree, Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives are one of the best bands going on any stage, anywhere, any time. Kenny is a mega guitar player and should be on any serious players radar. Well done sir!

[@rodneysmith6716]

a trip down the Kenny Vaughn rabbit hole, a perfect companion for your morning coffee

[@horacecoker6756]

The Fabulous Superlatives have not one but two awesome guitarists in Kenny and Marty. There is no other band of that calibre working today. Their blend of country, blues, rock and psychedelic is unique and as others have remarked: the band is super-tight.

[@dansmusic3637]

I got to play Clarence the day Marty got it. Went to see the Wright Brothers, who booked with Steve Pritchard at Eagle Productions, same as my band. Talking to Tim and Tom Wright backstage when in walked Marty and Mark Jones. Marty had just got Clarence that day, very excited, opens the case and handed it to me."Check this out!" WOW!!!

[@AndrewSmales]

Love it. The first time I went to Nashville was 8 or 9 years ago, and I was in Gruhn's Guitars, and I saw this customer walk up to two guys and tell them that he saw them the other night and really liked them, blah blah and they seemed very nice and had a chat with him. Had no clue who they were, so I went about my browsing, and as I was leaving, I bought something and I asked the guy at the counter who they were, and he said "That's Kenny Vaughan and Chris Scruggs, theyre in Marty Stuart's band". I remember thinking "oh isn't that some new country guy from the '90s" and forgot about it, but after a couple of years of seeing these guys on KZbin and listening to their albums, I'm such a massive fan and when I see a bunch of new interviews, I instantly watch the entire things.

[@NVRAMboi]

Thanks Otis. Kenny really is all about the music - and the history of "how we got here" across multiple musical genres. He's a very special musician and human being. I always learn things from his interviews. I'm grateful that Marty found him. Long live Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives.

[@robertdancy9896]

Kenny Vaughn is a awesome musician. Ive seen him play many times and hes a good storyteller and guy for sure! That band is the best out there i agree.

[@bonasa99]

OK. I've suspected as much for a while, but this confirms it. Kenny Vaughan and Marty Stuart are the coolest guys on the planet.

[@2frakers]

Kenny telling the bass amp story (and doing his impression of it) is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂😂 Great stuff!!

[@brianmobley1720]

More people should be listening to you Otis!! You are one of the best and have great guests that tell awesome stories!! Keep up the great work!!🐿️😎🐿️

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

As always, your conversations with Cousin Kenny are a real treat, Otis. Thank you both for doing these!

[@blockaid]

I could listen to Kenny all day! Such great stories and he tells them so well. Thanks Otis!

[@PJRII]

Marty and The Superlatives are just so dang good, been watching reruns of the show on RFD TV! And Kenny is one of the best guitarists ever as well as a great story teller. Love the comment about "bunch of misfits" and the Mad Magazine reference, freakin" hilarious.

[@ScottStentenFilms]

once again, the funniest stories ever!!!!!

[@firebladeclements]

It is such a joy to listen to Kenny's recollections through his own voice!

[@Alex16993]

Thank you so much for this! I was hoping to get a full interview on Marty for a long time!

[@g_and_kikos_homestudio]

Very cool. I play a 67 drip edge Twin Reverb with 1 JBL. Its the "Let it Be" and "Get Back" amps that John and George used. Kennys right nothing sounds like those old ones

[@TCoulter1]

Fantastic! Marty is one of the greatest I’ve ever got to chat with several times. Great stories and I felt he told me things in confidence because of the magnitude. Tremendous musicians and keepers of all things country. I felt Blessed for the privilege. Great interview!

[@joeyspinks]

Thanks Otis! I agree that Marty and the FS is the best band out there. We try to catch Kenny whenever and wherever we can in the area. Kenny is such a kind soul.

[@Hhllbb2476]

Thanks all! This is sustenance. I hope folks have come across Jesse Welles! Powerful “young” songwriter!

[@happyfrancis]

They ARE the best touring band right now

[@frothin]

Kenny has such stories and is such a font of musical knowledge. Plus the guy can tear up a guitar, I've seen it!

[@MrStannyboy]

I agree! Best band out there!

[@Lloydbrent33]

Can't get enough of Kenny and Chris Scruggs!

[@waynemiracle8928]

Otis! Hands down this is your absolute best interview and video of your career! This was absolutely incredible! I just loved the discussion about the guitars, amps, history, artists, and etc. it was my favorite of all time. I will listen to this again, and again, and again… Thanks for sharing! You’re da man!

[@keithwood574]

I've always, always totally impressed. Otis, you are remarkable!!!

Kenny Vaughan is a treasure!

[@piggycity]

You guys would have a great podcast together. I love these videos with Kenny, he really is the best story teller

[@stevie6423]

Don’t be surprised how many people listen to it. Beautifully produced, Otis knows how to step aside and feature the storyteller. Kenny has a voice that I could listen to all day.

[@mandymine4963]

Another great Kenny Vaughn/Otis Gibbs interview-these have become classics! Thanks Otis.

[@chriswade5348]

I dig your interviews with Kenny too! Great stories that otherwise could be lost to time. Thanks for all you do Otis! I hope to see you perform here in the Bay Area someday.

[@chrispitman3882]

I saw them last Saturday in Lenoir NC. They absolutely set it on fire... the kind of show that you look at your watch and say there was no way an hour and forty five minutes just went by. Incredible show and masters of their craft.

[@billchurch1145]

Kenny's truly a national treasure and one of my all-time favorite artists. His smile and that little chuckle laugh are contagious. I could listen to his stories and anecdotes for hours on end. Thanks for bringing him and these sessions to us, Otis.

[@guitardog]

I agree with you, Otis. MS & TFS are one of the best live bands out there, and always so much fun! BTW, Kenny is a damn fine singer too!

[@ThePeteMan]

I really wanna hear that unreleased Merle record!

[@mdhj67]

Fabulous Superlatives are a good band. Never a dull moment with those guys.

[@doughill8475]

Count me as one of your listeners who LOVES the Kenny Vaughan interviews. And I saw Kenny play with Marty at the Troubadour in LA a few years ago and he was one of the best I've ever heard. Fantastic show.

[@brianbeattympls]

You're correct, Otis. Nobody tops that band.

[@Alex16993]

Awesome! You should do the same with Chris Scruggs and Harry Stinson!

[@petzi7437]

I saw them play an acoustic show in a church in Berlin two years ago. One of the best live concerts I have ever seen and heard. I hope they come back to Germany to do some shows soon. Great interviews....

[@bbrand370]

Love Kenny, best band out there.

[@buzzbabyjesus]

You turned me onto Kenny Vaughan, and a little research found him with Marty. Saw them in an early post pandemic show in 2022. The Fabulous Superlatives are the best working band out there. A national treasure.

[@jamieashby8810]

I didn't join Marty's camp 'til last year, but I've already seen him twice, and will do so as long as those guys keep showin' up! Tay'it UP, Cuz'n Kenny!!

"Nobody plays like Bob Dunn done!" I'm on the other side of The Byrds where I followed the changes including the Clarence White daze! I was also aware of what was going on at "All Souled Out ," which was a club on Sunset where a lot of black music was going down amidst The Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds.
