| | Let There Be Country CD Marty Stuart Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Digitally remastered by Randy Kling (DiscMastering, Nashville, Tennessee).
This early recording gives a clear idea of just who Marty Stuart is. Without all the hype and over production of many of the MCA recordings, Let There Be Country displays Stuart's traditional hillbilly bent. Only his 1982 Sugar Hill debut, Busy Bee Cafe, defines him better. Self-produced, it is obvious that the artist knows what he is doing in terms of material and performance. With the inclusion of only two original songs, the rest of the tunes are strong statements by Stuart concerning country music. Merle Haggard's "Mirrors Don't Lie" is strong evidence of Stuart's affiliations. Also good is Bill Monroe's "Get Down on Your Knees and Pray." Stuart's version of the Johnny Horton hit "One Woman Man" is priceless and the sincere sweetness he reflects on the Harlan Howard-Max D. Barnes number "I'll Love You Forever (If You Want Me To)" is stunning. A worthy addition to any Stuart collection. ~ Jana Pendragon

The title track, featuring Travis Tritt, was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals.
Honky Tonkin's What I Do Best is a rather strange record for Marty Stuart, while remaining unquestionably something that reflects his character as a songwriter. Produced by Tony Brown (a producer who unquestionably gets most of the credit -- as well as the criticism -- for the contemporary country sound), the album was recorded in 1996. Stuart wrote or co-wrote virtually all the cuts on the set, some with friends, others with members of Brown's ready stable of go-tos at the time, like Kostas. The title cut, a duet with Travis Tritt, is stellar; it's classic rockin' rowdy honky tonkin' Stuart at his best. Then there's "The Mississippi Mud Cat and Sister Sheryl Crow," a song he wrote specifically for the pop diva, where though he is stretching to the point of near novelty, he and his killer band of crack sidemen manage to pull this tune -- with its clunky title -- off. That said, this is a rather low-energy effort for Stuart. The production is oftentimes over the top, blunting his delivery as a singer and as a guitar ...

Toby Keith has the kind of deep, assured but ever-so-slightly vulnerable country voice that sells records, platinum-style. This guy used to work in the oil fields of Oklahoma, as well as play a little semi-pro football,and ...
