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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Could listen to Marty telling stories all nite long

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.

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!

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

Coolest man in Country music, Marty.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

LOVE MARTY……and his Connie….Jewels❤️❤️……Happy, FUN, Talented…..they…BRING….JOY❤️

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

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

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.

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

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!!❤

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

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.

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

On one of his shows he covered Linda Ronsdadt’s Heartbreak Kind. Killer version, wish it was actually released on CD.

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

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 .

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.

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

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

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

God bless Marty for the music and the stories

Brought back memories for me!

He is country music’s historian.

Marty is so cool. A true legend.

A living legend.

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.

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

Would love to go to Missisippi. I'm a music lovin' antique hippie. Congress of Country is something I'd see. Made for old farts like me.

got a lump in my throat at least a dozen times listening to this recording.

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!

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

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 👏👏

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.

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

Loved it. Love marty stuart.

Great interview. He performs the song Six Days on the Road on one of his weekly shows. It's on a KZfaq 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.

Love, love Marty Stuart❣️

Love the Pilgrim!

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

Great interview.

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

Love this. Thanks

This was great. Thank you.

Great interview !

Wonderful..

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.

Thanks 👍

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 😂 😂 😂

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

Now that be country

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

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. ❤

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.

Kenny Vaughn!

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

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

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

Did he say he played a George Wallace rally?

Hey Y’all! 3 days to go and I’ll be watching The Superlatives in Leeds UK! Exciting or what? Here is a video of my friend Julia La Bella Bill Monroes girlfriend! Much love to all you pickers and grinners out there! Enjoy! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK1dn9h0t8_ep5c.html

What parlor style... guitar is that in the interview !?

Garth Brooks ruined country music.

The 3 minutes of commercials every 10 minutes is completely unnecessary and annoying

Marty Stewart is such of a genuine, talented, down to earth,cool dude

I realize that Marty was just a kid at the time, but I wonder how he feels now that he was part of a George Wallace campaign?

Does Marty have an issue with his neck? he never shows it and always wears a kerchief.

All men who wear scarves looking in the mirror a little much maybe?
