We talked to MartyStuartHQ about his new album 'Altitudes' and a half century of making music in Nashville.
—Marty Stuart’s generous new 14-cut album with his longtime backing band, The Fabulous Superlatives—might be the most rollicking, feel-good spirit lifter he’s whipped up in years. And its Duane Eddy-booming anthems like “Vegas,” “Tomahawk,” “Country Star,” and a three-part Roger McGuinn-reverent suite called “Lost Byrd Space Train” prove a perfect pandemic panacea, and reflect exactly where the artist is, existentially, right now at 64.
