| It's so nice to see Marty's Nashville, Volume 1: Tear The Woodpile Down show up on the Best Albums of 2012 lists. Country Universe ranked it at #29. Ben Foster wrote, "Featuring a raucous roadhouse jam one moment ('Tear The Woodpile Down,' 'Truck Driver's Blues'), and a straight-up steel weeper the next ('A Matter Of Time,' 'The Lonely Kind'), Nashville, Volume 1 offers an entertaining fusion of country music past and present from one of the genre's most staunch advocates of tradition. A solid set of songs with some unexpected collaborations (Hank Williams III, Buck Trent, Lorrie Carter Bennett) ensure that there is never a dull moment. Top tracks 'A Matter Of Time,' 'Truck Driver's Blues,' 'Picture From Life's Other Side'." Ben ranked it at #19 individually. Sam Gazdziak ranked it at #6. |
| Marty's Nashville, Volume 1: Tear The Woodpile Down also topped Engine's 145's Top Albums of 2012 list, saying: "Marty Stuart celebrated two milestones in 2012: 40 years in Nashville and 20 years as a member of the Opry. The teenage bluegrass picker is now a country music statesman, and his new record pays tribute to the sounds of classic country music without ever feeling stale. Stuart's smooth vocals and stellar guitar work, backed by his band The Fabulous Superlatives, are firmly on point through Woodpile, whether they're tearing up a breakneck instrumental like "Hollywood Boogie" or a fiddle-and-steel heartbreaker like "It's Only A Matter Of Time." He may be in his fourth decade as a professional musician, but he's rarely sounded better than he does here." |
| Marty's Nashville, Volume 1: Tear The Woodpile Down topped That Nashville Sound's Top 10 Albums of 2012 saying "Stuart is the flag-bearer for keeping traditional country music alive in Nashville. As Little Jimmy Dickens slows down in his 90's, Stuart is also becoming the face of he Opry. Here, he delivers a foot-stomping, barn-raising, jam-session collection of great songs that reminds that he's still at the very top of his game." |
| From 2012 |
| Marty celebrated 20 years as a member of the Grand Ole Opry with an hour segment on each of the Saturday, December 8, 2012 shows.

Marty said,
"It really
means the
world to me to
be recognized
by my peers
for this
piece. My main
electric
guitar
belonged to
Clarence
White, the
great
guitarist for
the Byrds.
After
Clarence's
death, I
bought this
guitar from
his wife. I've
played it on a
lot of hits
and on a lot
of records,
but I've never
felt like --
to the
Clarence White
fans who watch
me or who
actually watch
the guitar --
I've laid down
a profound
instrumental
that pays
homage to
Clarence. I
wrote this
song and gave
it a title
that pays
tribute to
Clarence. I
consider it my
B-bender
recital
piece." |

| This is from CMT on the Country Music Hall of Fame inductions of Jimmy Dean and Don Williams: "Next came Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives to liven things up with a high-lonesome, high-velocity rendering of the Bill Monroe chestnut, 'Working on a Building.' After respectfully greeting the dignitaries seated on the front row, the ever-mischievous Stuart added, 'I've never in my life seen a bunch that needed a gospel song more than they do.' Talk about sharp-dressed guys! Stuart, on mandolin, was clad completely in black, while his bandsmen -- drummer "Handsome" Harry Stinson, bassist "Apostle" Paul Martin and guitarist "Cousin" Kenny Vaughan -- were resplendent in white suits with black shirts. Stinson's high-tenor vocals set the crowd cheering long before the song was over." |

This museum attests to this, so that she might share the many accolades she has with us... A few years ago, a journalist mentioned her - that she was the Queen of Country Music. 'Kitty Wells is the queen. Tammy Wynette is the first lady'" ("I thought that was Connie Smith," Marty jokingly added) "'I'm just the coal miner's daughter,' Loretta said. Kitty Wells might have been the queen to a lot of people, but I agree with the reporter." |

| We
are saddened
by the news of
the passing of
country music
and Grand Ole
Opry legend
Porter Wagoner
on October 28,
2007. Our
thoughts and
prayers go out
to his family
and friends.
Thankfully,
Porter was
able to record
one last
incredible
album,
produced by
Marty. Marty
had this to
say about
Porter:
"Losing Porter
is going to
take a whole
lot of getting
used to as
he's been a
part of my
life for so
long. I grew
up watching
his television
show in
Mississippi,
and it was as
if he were a
member of our
family. After
I got to know
him, he was."
"He was a masterful showman, who understood the art of the final act. He left the world on top. Some of the things that soften the blow of his passing are all the memories from the past year. We made a wonderful record together that got him lots of acclaim, he celebrated his 50th anniversary with the Grand Ole Opry, he had a new generation of kids in love with him and his music, the awards were coming, the Martin Guitar Company had named a guitar in his honor and he was asked to light the nation's Christmas tree at the Pageant of Peace celebration in Washington, D.C. next month. One of the last things he said to me was, 'You're gonna' have to call the President and tell him I won't be able to sing him any Christmas songs this year. Maybe next year.' " |
| Marty inducted Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. |
 On October 3, the
Country Music
Association
surprised
Marty with the
Joe Talbot
Award in
recognition of
his work in
collecting and
preserving
country music
memorabilia.
Marty said, "I
stopped off
the bus [in
Nashville]
when I was 13
years old for
a weekend and
never went
home. I
dedicated my
life to it. I
love this
music. We are
a family." Click here to read an article

surprise. |

| The Nashville Scene queried 90 country music critics and compiled the best from 2003. Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives' album, Country Music, landed at #11 on the Best Albums list. On the Best Live Act, they landed at #7. Fabulous Superlative lead guitarist Kenny Vaughan tied for #10 on the Best Musician list. Comments made in the highs, lows and the state of country music in 2003 included Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen saying "Seems to me, this was the year that the division between 'alt-country' and 'country' got foggier than ever. With Dixie Chicks embracing the twang and Brooks & Dunn and Marty Stuart rocking harder than most of their supposedly 'alternative' kin, I found myself listening with renewed interest to the radio." Jim Bessman said, "Marty Stuart is the one from my list who can best be relied upon to define country music, as he so ably does in his boldly stated album title. Then again, did anyone besides me list it -- let alone listen to it? As it only peaked at No. 40, my whole take on the current state of country music is that a great album entitled Country Music, and consistently of what I would call precisely that, went essentially unappreciated." |
| Marty and Andy Griffith were nominated for a Dove award for The Christmas Guest. Also competing for the Country Album of the Year was Love Never Fails recorded by Connie Smith, Sharon White and Barbara Fairchild.

| From 2003 |
| Marty's
album, Country
Music, is
finding its
way onto many
of the "Best
Country Albums
of 2003"
lists: USA
Today's
Brian
Mansfield
lists the
album at #10:
"Country's
musical
conscience
frames this
album with
Porter Wagoner
and Johnny
Cash covers,
then sings
with Merle
Haggard about
American
farmers."
Bobby Reed (Chicago Sun-Times) lists the album at #9, "Few artists balance the past and the present with such style and expertise." Chet Flippo writes "Country music's conscience grows in musical depth and breadth. "Farmers Blues" with Merle Haggard is an instant classic. The Superlatives are the best little band working anywhere." From Calvin Gilbert: "Stuart didn't violate any 'truth-in-labeling' laws when he named his album Country Music. With his band, the Fabulous Superlatives, Stuart keeps it country -- even with a Hammond B-3 organ in the background." From Peter Cooper: "Aptly titled and strikingly delivered, Country Music is a return to fine form for Stuart. "Tip Your Hat" and "Farmer's Blues" feature guest turns from some of country's greatest starts, but the album's highlight is a wailing version of the Michael Henderson/Wally Wilson barroom stomper "Wishful Thinkin'." |
