VIP PACKAGE 1: THE BIG CHIEF SPECIAL $209.00 Join Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives as he shares through story and song his remarkable life. While he’s too gracious to admit it himself, the GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician is living, breathing country music history. “That’s the way it’s supposed to be in country music.American Music Theatre welcomes country music torchbearer Marty Stuart as he celebrates the twentieth anniversary of his iconic album The Pilgrim. The job is to pass it along,” says Stuart, stretching out his arms. “Lester Flatt saw something in me and gave me his wisdom, wit and music. As he sees it, there is no greater responsibility in music than to share what you’ve learned. “There’s something in there that would entertain each of them.” But Stuart also made Way Out West for those who come after. “I would play this record for Hank Williams, Merle Haggard or Ernest Hemingway and never bat an eye,” says Stuart.

Way Out West is just the latest embodiment of that creative mission.

They’re my legacy band and have been since Day One,” says Stuart.Īlong with the playing of Mike Campbell, who contributed guitar, B-3 organ and piano, the Fabulous Superlatives are all over Way Out West and ensure that the mystical detours Stuart explores always remain of the moment.Īs Stuart himself will tell you, he often ventures off the reservation – in a way, his entire career has been “way out west.” While other artists chased popular trends in the name of radio play, he formed complete bodies of work, not unlike the greats he idolized.

Made up of guitarist Kenny Vaughan, drummer Harry Stinson and new member, bassist Chris Scruggs, the Superlatives are an extension of Stuart himself. When it comes to transforming country songs into tangible experience, Stuart has a secret weapon: the Fabulous Superlatives. Produced by Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), the album is a cinematic tour-de-force, an exhilarating musical journey through the California desert that solidifies Stuart as a truly visionary artist. Way Out West, his 18th studio album, hits both of those marks. Carter and an assortment of Cash’s black boots among his vast collection of memorabilia.īut most importantly, Stuart continues to record and release keenly relevant music, records that honor country’s rich legacy while advancing it into the future. Including its literal shoes: Stuart counts the brogan of Carter Family patriarch A.P. He’s played alongside the masters, from Cash to Lester Flatt, who discovered him been a worldwide ambassador for Nashville, Bakersfield and points in between and safeguarded country’s most valuable traditions and physical artifacts. While he’s too gracious to admit it himself, the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician is living, breathing country-music history. With legends like George Jones, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard all passed on, country music purists often echo the question Jones himself asked: “Who’s going to fill their shoes?” The answer, in part, is Marty Stuart.
