Carol said it was a dream to play the Ryman, and explained a huge gratitude to Marty for that.ĬEO of RFD-TV was on stage then because the station have the Marty Stuart Show, and Marty thanked him for that. I will remember their beautifull version of "Bury Me Beneath the Willow" with Marty playing the mandolin. The band brings a combination of folk and Americana and includes Carol Young and Kym Warner (Australia) and Eamon McLoughlin (UK), and additional need for this show from a guitar player from Atlanta, Ga. The Greencards came on stage after Marty explained he met them only a few weeks ago in California. Fashion is important for Marty and he is now dressed in black. The mood of Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives began to sound with "Hillbilly rock" joined by the crowd clapping during the song. Then Eddie talked again about again Marty's love of the Lakota people. Brulé and the American Indian Rock Opera were amazing to show the best of their native music and dance and a standing ovation was done by the crowd in response. When Lakota Indian dancers came onstage, the two fashioned costumed were here to show their sense of entertainment. As usual, Eddie Stubbs, the very respectable air personality of WSM served as host.
Marty Stuart is a legend and, so, is inspired by roots music. I knew the major names of the schedule but to see the indians was a surprising moment. The legendary Oak Ridge Boys who is one of the most popular country and gospel band in America, Tanya Tucker, Connie Smith, Jeff Hanna of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Cherryholmes. I have to thank Brandon, from Marty Stuart's management, for his very warm welcome.įor this 2009 and 8th edition, on june 11, Marty Stuart bring us Native American dancers and artists from the bluegrass and honky-tonk scenes. The Ryman Auditorium is the Mother Church of country music and I have ever had the pleasure to be backstage there in 2006 and remember very well the wonderfull line up including the Oak Ridge Boys, Keni Thomas and Little Big Town among others.
