If I remember right, I first heard of Marty Stuart sometime in the early 90s. I kinda rescued a cassette tape and some other misc. items from a friend's house that was on fire. The plastic tape had melted a little but still played. I listened to the song "Hillbilly Rock" and fell in love with it. I was playing in a "LOUD" rock & roll band at the time. I convinced the other members to begin playing a little country music. Marty Stuart has been an idol to me ever since. My mother loved Marty and his music for many years. He came to Columbus Ohio to play and my mother was 85 at the time fighting leukemia. I was able to get there early and save a place for her close to the stage, and take her behind the stage to briefly speak with Marty and Cousin Kenny before they went on. Once they began playing, my mom got up and worked her way to the very front of the stage and danced a little as the band played. She absolutely adored Marty and The Fabulous Superlatives. I don't think she ever missed one of Marty's shows. She lost her battle with leukemia a few months later, but told me that was the best time she had ever had in her entire life.

Thanks for sharing such a touching & heartwarming story about your dearly departed Mother and Marty Stuart. God Bless you & your family in Jesus' name.

I met Marty Stewart in Bristol TN ,in Late 1989 ,he held my 3 week old daughter ,one of the most beautiful moments in my life !!!

Marty Stuart has to be one of the most humble, grounded and real famous person I've ever heard. This interview was so riveting, I couldn't stop watching.

Marty Stuart is a great example of how to be in love with living and the life we've been offered.

Thank God! All these years I didn’t know that Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt had worked it out. I’m so proud to know that Earl went to see Lester before he died. ❤✝️

Love Marty Stuart. He’s an awesome Musician he’s also very Funny. Love his band too

Marty, your comments about “the monster” inside of you hit home for me as I’m sure it did for many. That monster not only destroys the person he invades, but the family friends and people you love the most and need the most. The monster destroys who you were and if he can he will destroy you, entirely. My monster did incredible damage, but I put that beast in the rear view mirror. Some family never forgives. Some friends never forget, but you are correct sir: there comes a time when you must face down the monster - or he will destroy everything you ever tried to achieve. I’m happy to hear you bagged him up. I know the struggle to so was not easy. My best to you.

I'm an old rock n roll guy. The Who, The Byrds, etc etc. I didn't know Marty Stuart from Marty Robbins. I watched the Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" anniversary clips on here and became curious about the guys playing with them. I came across a gig that Marty and the Superlatives did in Suanee Florida. I was hooked because these guys reeled me in with instrumentals, McGuinn style hooks and great guitar work. Then I started buying cds and listening to Marty's career. Thank you Mr. Cody for an extensive interview.

I'm right there with you on these bands. Marty actually acquired Clarence White's 'string bender' guitar. Truth: I actually recognized it's sound and almost fell out when I heard he was actually playing White's rig.

This was how I found Marty Stuart, too. Sure glad I did. Saw Marty and the Superlatives October 2021 in Bethel Woods NY-so sweet it was. Handsome Harry took a selfie for me of the two of us - nice man. I was supposed to be at the Ryman 6th row aisle (I’m short) for Marty’s Late Night Jam last June 8. June 2 I self-tested positive for Covid, couldn’t go. Ty I bought ticket insurance when I booked my Ryman ticket - sure wish there was a DVD or KZread video of that concert…I’ve seen clips people have posted. Sure hope to get there. ❤

Coolest man in Country music, Marty.

I heard Lester and earl live back in 57 /58, then few years later started playing, heard so many of the greats, through the years. Great interview, Marty is an icon.

Marty is genius talent and the real deal and him and The Fabulous Superlatives are the best band I’ve ever seen.

What a great interview!! I have been a fan since the eighties. We need more people with hearts like his !!! I hope to meet him someday before he is gone from this earth!!❤

Love Marty Stuart. Definetly a country singer that is a good country music representative.

How wonderfully brave of Marty to get Lester and Earl to make up at the end. More respect for him than ever!

A few years ago I met Marty in a Colorado State Park. He spoke to me just like he’s speaking here. His interest in my little dog was genuine.

Amen to that @Marty Stuart, you are the epitome of Country Music and the style of Americana! 😊

One of the best hours of live music I have ever experienced was several years ago is Marty and the Superlatives.

Marty ...Mr Stewart is a Wonderful player and a national treasure!

I wish country music was still as revered as it is for Mr. Stuart.

A true national treasure put more importantly , a kind loving soul .

Brought back memories for me!

Some people just have that little extra thing that makes them so interesting and Marty Stuart is definitely one of them. He even has the same age difference with his wife as I have with my husband. Going on 20 years for us now.

This is Jeanette nail my stage name is Jen trees I I'm so proud that Marty Stuart pursued your career I left home in 1971 at 16anc a half to pursue my music I quit school in the 10th grade I attend Lindale sch Dust, in Lindale tx from 1963to 1971 the same sch and town that Miranda Lambert grew up in,my name back then was imogene nail I grew up on a farm I'm East Texas Lindale tx

God bless Marty for the music and the stories

This Friday night in Atlanta!! I can't wait!! Bucket list item!!!

Great interview! Marty is a wonderful story teller and down to earth human being.

Marty is so cool. A true legend.

My 92 year old mother adores his show! She watches it on cable.

A living legend.

I've listened to and read so much about Marty, I thought I knew pretty much everything he was willing to share publicly - but this interviewer coaxed from him information I'd not heard before. A real treat to listen to!

Loved it. Love marty stuart.

The two best things to ever come out of Philadelphia MS - Marty and HARDY!! 🎶♥️🎶♥️🎶

Saw Marty & His Fabulous Superlatives recently at the Paradiso Amsterdam. I was blown away! The joy with which they played! And seeing and hearing Clarence's telecaster again after 52 years! I saw the Byrds twice in 1970. I posted vids from the Paradiso gig.

He is country music’s historian.

You just got to love Marty! Marty you introduced real county music to me. Thank you!

Top interview. Nice touch to set the meet with Lester and Earl, and they met, that's Gold.

Ghost Train the Studio B Recordings was one of the most important country recordings in the last 20 years imo

Love this. Thanks

great interview, such a fun time watching this, thanks for bringing it

My late wife was seven years older than I was. Nobody believed it would last, but it did! I asked her once how she explained that? She said, "Boys mature much younger than girls." I told her that was exactly opposite of what most people think. Kathryn's response? "No. Known a few men, and none of them matured much more than 12 years old." She taught me a lot.

Love, love Marty Stuart❣️

Ive been a fan since first I seen him, I actually. met his sister Jennifer years before I knew who he was but Marty is the real deal and of best pickers ever. He wander into my record shop in Nashville one day and I honestly couldn’t believe it we had a nice talk.

Marty is a class act ! I'm the same age first saw him in Missoula , Mt with Lester at 14 then with Cash in Helena I got to visit with him at the hotel he thought it was crazy I knew who he was but at 14 I knew 6 chords on the mandolin and knew how to follow a couple fiddle tunes but I was so blown away that a kid my age could play like that ! Saw him again with Johnny . My friends opened up for him I wanted to go so bad but couldn't get out of work . He's played a ranch near by and around the state but I've never been able to make it to one of his shows but have been a huge fan since 14 . Hope to make it to one of his shows one day ! My health isn't that great anymore but it's ony bucket list ! Hopefully he'd sign my Tele & I could request Matches .

Thanks Marty for entertaining me for all these years we’re the same age but you got more hair than me your in the top 10 of all time thanks 👏👏superlatives too 👏👏

It's been close to twenty years ago- But a car lot you could make the walk from my house on. My mom and dad saw it on the news he was going to be there. Mom ended up taking me and my boy up there. I saw the stage and Marty and went to jump out of the car. Only problem was it was still moving! Scared my Mom to death! Now I say I went to see Marty in concert I risked my life! LOL He was just awesome, no words to describe!

Great interview !

Love the Pilgrim!

Marty, thank you for the story about the eagle flying. I was driving and an eagle was flying ahead of me but towards the left side of my car. He did this for like a half mile and then flew off. I never understood why he did that until you told your story that it means everything is going to be OK. I had come to see my aunt before she passed and she left us one and a half years later. The eagle was telling me everything was going to be OK.

Great interview. He performs the song Six Days on the Road on one of his weekly shows. It's on a KZread video and I totally love his version. I watch it probably at least once a week. I'm not much for country music but he is the exception.

Wonderful..

Marty is a great talent with great stage presentation ,he's a natural.

I met Marty in 1974, when he played with Lester Flatt,shook his hand. Met him again in 1980 with Johnny Cash & June Carter, he's the best thing to happen to Music including Country/Bluegrass/Gospel/Rockabilly/Twang, Music. He's gotta a Life's Book of Stories,too.

Looking forward to seeing Marty and the Superlatives in Ocean City Maryland May 6. 🙌

Thanks 👍

LOVE Marty Stuart ! --- but WAY too many commercials !!!!!!!

In the mid 1990s, Marty was working with Jerry & Tammy Sullivan, relatives of the Sullivan Family Marty worked for decades earlier. He produced their Bluegrass Gospel Albums, wrote Songs, played Mandolin, and they were nominated for Grammys, won, and Dove Awards. He even wrote the words for the Bill Monroe written Gospel Instrumental "Get up,John". Marty & Jerry and Tammy Sullivan, some of the finest Gospel ever made. It's on youtube.

Now that be country

Dude I love ❤️ Marty he's the nicest most talented but I have dyslexia the first time I saw his band name I thought his bands name 😔 was the super laxatives I was like what is he doin 😳??? Then I heard someone say it was so funny 😂 😂 😂

Marty Stuart is the Real Deal. Only I myself know more than M.S. (& I don't mean Multiple Sirosis.

The movie was Urban Cowboy and it hit the scene before Garth but in the same era. ❤

1982 Busy bee cafe.

In some ways but he helped or tried to in lots of ways. But part of the downfall of country music started with that movie with John Travolta and Debra Winger where they were doing some country dancing and wearing those cowboy hats with the feathers hanging down. My husband was playing local country music and working part time DJ at a local radio station. He would come home at nights after the nightclubs would close and he would say the requests would be “play me something I can line dance to”…..he could tell then that the music scene was changing. He played the California scene when it was happening with many of the greats, and I saw him bring many of them through his small nightclub he owned and worked here in Oklahoma City. We just kind of sadly shake our heads at some of the music that is called “Country” these days. There is such a deep hunger for Traditional Country but sad to say it’s too hard to find. ❤

Kenny Vaughn!

Love the Host! He’s got a great porker face.

is the story I heard once that Bill was the reason they were never elected into the Hall of Fame he was mad at them for leaving him

wonder if he still has the Hank Williams song book I sent him

I'm guessing that's a Martin size 5, AKA a Terz guitar, usually tuned G to G but can be played standard tuning. Couldn't get a real good look at the headstock though, but that's my guess. Awfully expensive guitars too!

Did he say he played a George Wallace rally?

I love Marty Stuart and especially what he represents nowadays. But he's wrong about BB King being "the man who started the Blues". There were many black men who were playing Blues long before BB King. There were so many in fact, no single Bluesman can be considered "the founder of the Blues"..........it was an entire list of black men who started what eventually would be called: Blues music.

Garth Brooks ruined country music.
