There is a reason that Vince Gill says that Marty Stuart is his favorite mandolin player. Vince himself has chops on the mandolin but Marty is truly next level. In other words Keith, you know the skill set of both Vince and Tommy, now welcome Marty into the chat. Truly Marty is on that level, he owns it. I’ve watched Vince, Marty, and Brad Paisley on stage together and it is equally as impressive. Always love when great string players get together on stage. They just feed off each other, having fun, and make each other that much better.
Great reaction guys. I knew you'd love it. That is a stage FULL of talent, in my opinion. I've always been a Marty Stuart fan. He's from Philadelphia, Mississippi which is 25 miles down the road from me so everybody locally knows about Marty. I'm also a huge fan of Tommy Emmanuel and Cuz Kenny Vaughn. The Fabulous Superlatives were named after a flower shop in Philadelphia, Mississippi called The Superlative Flower Shop. The first time I saw this video it was 9:00 at night I kept replaying it. I would fall asleep for a while, wake back up and play it again ALL NIGHT.😊
It does my heart good watching newbies getting a big helping of real country. Marty Stuart is one of the greats, and there is a reason he calls his band the Fabulous Superlatives! Fun reaction, thank you.
Great reaction, fantastic song choice. Thank you Donna for introducing me to this song and to this performance. Just amazing to watch and listen to this. I enjoyed it a lot.
Marty Stuart was 13 playing with Lester Flatt. He then played with Vassar Clements, Doc Watson before joining Johnny Cash's band. Was married to Johnny's daughter Cindy. He is now married to country music star Connie Smith.
If I'm not mistaken, this was entirely improvised by Tommy on the spot. And yes, Kenny Vaughn (Cousin Kenny as Marty calls him) is a top shelf picker and well known around Nashville. The late, great Chet Atkins named Tommy one of his "CGP" (Certified Guitar Players), a distinction given only to a handful of players. Tommy and Chet collaborated on an album titled "When Finger Pickers Took Over the World". I could go on and on, but as you can tell, I'm a huge Tommy Emmanuel fan.
I would say "The Fabulous Superlatives" are a very appropriate name for Marty's band. He is a quality musician and I'm glad you have found the good stuff. He has lots of it. I am still waiting for his "Crow" song to come up on my driving playlist. Apparently I need to run longer errands. LOL!
Hadn't seen Marty Stuart play before, a real great tune. And, as always those bluegrass bands are all stars - but Tommy always brings a slightly different background - not being primarily a bluegrass player.
I look it up so you don't have to; streamliner was released 2014 which is interesting as it aired on the show in 2013 with Tommy. The Fabulous Superlatives, Marty Stuart's band since 2002, includes him on guitar and mandolin, Kenny Vaughan on guitar, and Harry Stinson on drums, and from 2002 until 2008, Brian Glenn on bass. From 2008 until 2015, Paul Martin was on bass. In 2015, Chris Scruggs replaced Paul Martin on bass, and also played steel guitar. Every member also sings.[24][25][26]
I thought he played more than just guitar and mandolin (I was wrong) and went to check, and found another couple things I didn’t know: he played with Earl Scruggs and Johnny Cash, was briefly married to Cash’s daughter, and Jerry Lee Lewis was his uncle.
Johnny Cash once asked him if he played fiddle and Marty said yes. He says he played it in the band for a while, badly. He said one night (I believe it was Jerry Lee) knocked on his door and asked to borrow his fiddle. He said to this day he's never seen it again. lol
Kieth, have you heard of Marcin Patrzalek? He's a young Guitarist who does crazy things with his classical Acoustic guitar. When I first listened to him I thought there was no way he was doing all that with just his guitar, but I saw an interview with him where he demonstrated how he was doing everything. Absolutely incredible!
I know several people have mentioned a version of Earl Scruggs and Friends doing Foggy Mountain Breakdown. It has Marty Stuart on mandolin and Vince Gil on electric guitar as 2 of the friends playing. If you get caught up on bribes, I can send a bottle to have you react to that.
I commented on an earlier Marty video telling you guys to watch out for Marty as a picker, he's incredibly good. There is one out there with Warren Haynes ripping it up on slide with Marty and the boys too.
If you want to head down the obscure, but incredible acoustic guitar players route, look for artists on the Candyrat label. That's one heck of a rabbit hole. - Keith
Top level band that is ridiculously good live. If you get a chance, go see them, you will not be disappointed. Their "Way Out West" album from about 6 years ago is the best new album to come out in decades (imho) - check out "Whole Lotta Highway (and a Million Miles to Go)". Marty was a child prodigy that got his start at 13 playing mandolin in Lester Flatt's (Bluegrass LEGEND) band. His next gig was as a guitarist in Johnny Cash's band. He is the current steward of Clarence White's original, 1st ever b-bender telecaster (also named Clarence). 'Cousin' Kenny Vaughan is a monster picker and top level nashville session player. There's a great TH-cam video of Tommy and Kenny playing Bob Wills "Right or Wrong" from Carter's Vintage Guitars in Nashville.
Best ACCOUSTIC GUITARIST: (the late) Tony Rice. Check him out... DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU... start with "Church Street Blues). Note: no disrespect to Mr. Emmanuel intended.
Question : the malt never said barley. Is there a chance the malt could be made of wheat since it never said barley which made be why Keith is getting that whole wheat bread flavor. Just a thought

Oh also there's one more bottle at Vine and Table
So Happy. Marty deserves to be appreciated.
Next…Marty & Travis Tritt!
Marty and Travis are pretty awesome together.
they did the no hats tour
Marty Stuart is pretty much a legend in his own ride. But yeah the guitarist was legendary. This was a great song and a great reaction gentlemen.
💯%
Tommy Emmanuel's Classical Gas is a must watch. Bring your oxygen tank. You will forget to breathe. .
It does my heart good watching newbies getting a big helping of real country. Marty Stuart is one of the greats, and there is a reason he calls his band the Fabulous Superlatives! Fun reaction, thank you.
Great reaction, fantastic song choice. Thank you Donna for introducing me to this song and to this performance. Just amazing to watch and listen to this. I enjoyed it a lot.
I have been watching the Marty Stuart show with all his great old guest for years glad you picked him up
Marty Stuart was 13 playing with Lester Flatt. He then played with Vassar Clements, Doc Watson before joining Johnny Cash's band. Was married to Johnny's daughter Cindy. He is now married to country music star Connie Smith.
Tommy Emmanuel is a genius. I saw him play two songs at one time on the same guitar.
He's just on a different level than the rest of the planet. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts There are some great videos out there with him and Molly Tuttle as well

Great request Donna. I did know about Tommy Emmanuel and that Marty is an OG in bluegrass but had never heard this. Great reaction!
More of Marty Stuart please

Awesome reaction, loved seeing how much yall enjoyed this. Anybody playing with Marty is gonna be great.
So happy someone finally sent you some Marty Stuart that actually showed off his skills.

You ought to listen to “Country Boy Rock and Roll”, seeing those two pull it off live is something everyone ought to do.
Kieth there is a version of “classical gas” with Tommy and billy strings.
I thought he played more than just guitar and mandolin (I was wrong) and went to check, and found another couple things I didn’t know: he played with Earl Scruggs and Johnny Cash, was briefly married to Cash’s daughter, and Jerry Lee Lewis was his uncle.

Great tune I'd never heard before, thanks much for the choice and another good review!

I actually have. The guy is amazing. - Keith
Such a unique style.
Fantastic!
Check out Earl Scruggs with a whole bunch of greats -- Marty Stewart, Vince Gill, Steve Martin, Paul Schaffer, Leon Russell and more! FANTASTIC!!!

You’re playing Marty Stuart that makes me a HaPpY Girl
I have probably suggested it before, but in case I haven't, Eric Clapton's the guitar festival from 2004 is several hours of amazing musicians.

You guy's need to do Classical Gas, Please !!!!!
I can just see Kieth on the side of the road breaking down this song to a very confused State Patrol Officer 😂😂😂
In handcuffs. - Keith

I love Tony Rice and I have seen the video of Tommy Emmanuel playing Classical Gas. They are both awesome.
You need to listen 😂a guy named Lenny Breau. Great guitarist
I'm pretty sure we just saw Keith's O face 😂😜
Question : the malt never said barley. Is there a chance the malt could be made of wheat since it never said barley which made be why Keith is getting that whole wheat bread flavor. Just a thought
Marty was Johnny cash’s guitar player
I was unaware of that. - Keith
Sound more like 50's rock then country .
