In a career spanning over 50 years, dozens of albums, and too many shows to count, Marty Stuart still charts a course through new territory at every chance possible. The five-time GRAMMY® Award winner, Congress of Country Music Founder, Country Music Hall of Famer, and AMA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has left an indelible mark on successive eras of country music and culture. He went from accompanying Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash to launching a storied solo career highlighted by classic albums such as the Gold-certified Hillbilly Rock and Platinum-certified This One’s Gonna Hurt You, as well as GRAMMY® Award-winning anthems including “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” [with Travis Tritt] and “Same Old Train.”
Immersing himself in the world of film and television, Stuart notably scored All The Pretty Horses, garnering a Golden Globe® Award nomination for Best Original Score. He also earned GRAMMY® Awards for Best Country Instrumental Performance for “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and “Hummingbyrd.” Recently, 2023’s Altitude incited widespread critical applause. Of the latter, the Associated Press praised how “Guitarist Kenny Vaughan, drummer Harry Stinson and bassist Chris Scruggs match Stuart’s guitar virtuosity, with thrilling results,” while American Songwriter attested, “Altitude finds Stuart putting his own stamp on a traditional vein of country.” NPR put it best: “For millions, Marty Stuart is the very image of country music—splendid jackets, musical mastery and his respect for country’s traditions and a good jolt of humor.”
You’d be hard-pressed to find a corner of country music he hasn’t impacted. Speaking to his influence, Stuart hosted the long-running fan-favorite television series The Marty Stuart Show and remains a member of the Country Music Foundation and the Grand Ole Opry. The Country Music Hall of Fame inducted him in 2020, and he also curated and launched Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music in Philadelphia, MS, preserving and celebrating the genre and its history.
Joined by his longtime band The Fabulous Superlatives, Stuart now cruises into another stratosphere with his first-ever full-length double LP of original instrumentals, Space Junk. The album’s cover art is a painting by Stuart’s longtime hero and pal Herb Alpert, leader of the Tijuana Brass, a group Stuart considers one of the greatest instrumental bands of all time. The inimitable interplay between Marty, Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson, and Chris Scruggs fuels this cosmic cowboy trip with sun-kissed surf guitar, breezy California rhythms, soul-stirring steel, and fluid fretwork all around. Space Junk sounds like country music’s preeminent band crash-landing on a Malibu beach and performing the most epic jam you’ve ever witnessed by starlight.
