Free Music Review: Fair at best
Hit: 3 Stars
I never thought I'd write a "less than stellar" review of Marty Stuart, but this is Marty's worst album, and lacks any real feeling or drive. Of course, Marty's instrumental work remains absolutely flawless....if it has strings, Marty is the king. But the selection and composition of these songs are definately not up to par. The first single, a different take on Porter Wagoner's classic "Satisfied Mind" is actually quite good, and misleadingly fills the listener with anticipation of like-minded songs to follow. But, it aint so. Seems like quite a bit of filler material here (perhaps previously discarded tracks), although there is a fine duet with Merle Haggard, "Farmer's Blues" and a tongue-in-cheek number, "Too Much Month". I give it a C-. Let's hope there are no repeats of this effort.
Country Music Poster
His country credibility long established by his tenures with Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash, Marty Stuart has always shown respect for the music's roots while also embracing the Nudie-suited, higher-the-hair-closer-to-God, show-biz attitude of a Porter Wagoner. On Country Music, his Columbia debut and first new album in four years, the chameleon-like Stuart has come up with a great, eclectic set of tunes and performances. He kicks things off in high style with "A Satisfied Mind," a cover of Wagoner's biggest hit, here given a rolling, Waylon Jennings-style arrangement. Stuart includes a respectful but nonetheless dead-on impersonation of the Man in Black on the lesser-known Cash tune "Walls of a Prison." On "Farmer's Blues," a new classic he penned with wife Connie Smith, it is hard to tell where Stuart leaves off and guest vocalist Merle Haggard begins--not a bad thing. What is more distinctive is the "Marty Party" good spirits he brings to honky-tonkers like "By George" and "Too Much Month (At the End of the Money)." Country Music does contain a few missteps: a heavy-handed (and botched) attempt at incorporating hip-hop into country ("If There Ain't There Ought'a Be") could have been more organic and he could have featured the vocal and instrumental accomplishments of his Fabulous Superlatives a bit more. Still, Stuart reminds us that country need not be "alt" to be exciting. --Michael RossCountry Music CDs
