The Lincoln Theatre is proud to welcome Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives back to our stage!
"You have to make the music that’s in your heart,” says Marty Stuart. “Sometimes that lines up with what’s going on out there in the world, sometimes it takes the world thirty or forty years to catch up, but if you’re true to your heart, that’s all that matters."
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. Joined by his longtime band The Fabulous Superlatives, the five-time Grammy Award winner, Country Music Hall of Famer, Congress of Country Music Founder, and AMA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient cruises into another stratosphere with his first-ever full-length instrumental LP, Space Junk.
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 guitar, and fluid fretwork all-around. "We thought the world needed a fresh instrumental album by a pretty good band," laughs Stuart, "so we composed twenty instrumentals and took them to the microphones." 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.
"Instrumentals have always been a part of the Fabulous Superlatives repertoire, but this is the first completely instrumental album we've done, largely inspired," Stuart says, "by two of my favorite bands from sixties , The Ventures and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. They did some dangerously cool instrumental records. We've done bluegrass, gospel, and country records. Our hearts just led us to this one. Space Junk turned us back into kids with our first guitars."
(Ironically, the cover art of Space Junk is a painting by Stuart’s longtime hero and pal, Herb Alpert, who generously consented for use as part of this project.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lester Flatts’s band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twenty-one, he was working in the studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up royalty, it wasn’t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right, and over the course of forty-plus years as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry could bestow along the way.
