Saw him do this in concert. You're sitting there listening and watching him play, then suddenly realize he's been playing flawlessly for about five minutes like there's nothing to it. True professional.
I just watched the PBS documentary on country music by Ken Burns. I had no idea how talented Marty Stuart was from such a young age. That documentary gave me a whole new appreciation for him as a musician. This video just showcases that ability, thank you very much for posting.
One of the most significant artists in country music today...he smokes all those new Nashville wanna b's to high heaven..Love Marty...the Rolls Royce of Country musicians
Marty clearly loves every aspect of playing and performing. Clearly loves practicing mandolin and guitar. You don’t get this good ~ and get better ~ unless practicing nourishes your soul. I’ve seen videos of him grinning at other musicians, just checking out their technique likely to learn something new, enjoying making music, working hard doing it. I get it.
Thanks for posting. Saw Marty and the Superlatives in Ft. Lauderdale this past Feb. The "Special" mandolin solo was unreal. Hope he comes back soon. Did get to see Balsam Range a couple of weeks later and Darren Nicholson. Catch him on this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NpVIOxBhUMk.html
I will never forget seeing Marty do this in a little old town of Leroy New York a few years back. Smokin hot picking! Played it just as if he was at the grand old oprey, perfect as you please! Love all Marty’s shows! A gift from God to us!
Makes it look so easy. Just try shaking your arm and hand like that for 5 straight minutes and at the same time tell an interesting story. Marty is such an incredible musician.
Where did I ever think Mr rouse was a craven County NC man? I wish someone would clear this up for me.as Marty said Ervin Thomas Rouse was a Florida native? I'm fully aware of the orange blossom trail round Orlando and I ain't seen many oranges here in Carolina or blossoms lol but I was raised hearing that this was an Eastern NC written or composed tune.NC already brags of the first flight and it kinda got ohio a little sore about it lmao.cam someone clear up this thing about Mr Rouse and his orange blossom special for me please?
You are correct. Ervin Rouse was born September 19, 1917, just east of what was then the unincorporated community of "Fort Barnwell" in Craven County, NC. He left home for NY at age 8, and moved to Miami in 1938.
ArgyleGroove He played in Linden Texas just a few miles away on the 10th. I could kick myself for not getting a ticket before it sold out. I would love to see him play live.
I was asked to sing Marty Stuart song at a friend's father's funeral some years back. Of course I obliged, learned it, and did it. It was the first I had ever heard of him. Talented dude!
No, the amazing thing is he *didn't* sell his soul. That is what makes Marty Stuart so very, very special. He stayed true to the roots of the tradition.
This mandolin is exactly why I've seen Marty Live 15 times as many will chose Ricky Scaggs as the best but to me MARTY is GOAT playing that priceless piece!!
I saw the greats at Sun Set Park , in Pa . I’m old, they told me I saw Hank Williams, but I don’t remember . We are real northerners but the Sun Set was just fun.
He did a similar performance in clear lake Iowa at the surf ballroom back about 6 years ago. Simply amazing talent ! He is on my bucket list to see again live in this life.
There are mandolin players and then you have Marty Stewart. Never been recognized as the great mandolin player he truly is. He played my mandolin at a festival one time. His name is on it too.
gary dorman That statement is incorrect -- Chubby had nothing to do with OBS. Watch this video to learn about the songs history. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eHddJp9Rn90.html
