Marty got his start singing gospel as a child, and over the course of his career has performed with Lester Flatt and country music legend Johnny Cash. With smash hits "hillbilly rock" of the '90s, the four time GRAMMY-winner, has shown a showman's zest for every conceivable flavor of country music. Not to mention, a missionary's zeal for bringing the importance of the music and its themes home to long-time fans and newcomers alike. Musicologist Peter North cites, "Marty Stuart seems wrapped in his destiny at this point in time. Not only as country music's most notable ambassador/caretaker, but as its main archetypical crusader. He has without question evolved into one of the most important roots musicians and visionaries in America."
