Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives: Marty Stuart is the Pilgrim | Friday, February 28

Love and Luck One of country music's most historically minded new traditionalists, Marty Stuart is also one of its more flamboyant showmen, supporting his party-hearty image with a wardrobe of rhinestone-laden Nudie suits. Despite his fondness for flash, Stuart was one of the most eclectic country artists to rise to stardom in the '80s, moving between honky-tonk (1994's Love and Luck), rockabilly (1986's Marty Stuart), country-rock (2003's Country Music), traditional country (1992's Let There Be Country), Western music (2017's Way Out West), gospel (2005's Souls' Chapel), and bluegrass (1982's Busy Bee Cafe). Stuart easily balanced the various sides of his musical personality, with his love of country music's past and present the common bond between it all.
