White invited him to play with him in Nashville Grass at Labor Day gig in Delaware in 1972. After this, White asked him to join his band permanently and he accepted.
This made White responsible for the rest of Stuart’s education. When he was fourteen years old he appeared on the final band fifth season episode of the Hee Haw.

He then left the MCA in 2000, and joined Columbia Records, releasing a new album in 2003; however, this album was credited to “Marty Stuart & the Fabulous Superlatives.”
The lead single just missed Top 40 status. In 2005, he launched a custom of records labeled on Super lactone Records, to issue the overlooked Southern Gospel and Roots music recordings.
Stuart released three critically acclaimed collections on Super lactone, Souls’ Chapel, Badlands, and Live at the Ryman.

Mavis Staples explained, his father as “My father was Marty’s godfather. My sisters and I took him to our brother. He’s the only one that I’ve ever heard playing guitar, he sounds like Pop. He can play just like him.” His guitars include ‘Clarence’, the familiar two-tone Fender Telecaster, once owned by Clarence White.
This instrument has either ’54 or ’56 (different sources) and original B-Bender guitar, built by White and Gene Parsons in 1967, designed to allow the guitarist to manually raise the guitar’s ‘B’ string one whole step to play pedal steel style licks. He bought his unique guitar in 1980 from White’s widow.

In 1985, Marty Stuart accompanied Johnny Cash to Memphis and he played on the Class of ’55 album that featured Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, and Jerry Lee Lewis. At the end of the session, Perkins presented Marty Stuart with his guitar. Later that year, Stuart left Cash’s band and landed in a recording contract with Columbia Records.
In 1986, Marty Stuart released a self-titled album which he produced under Top 20 hit on the Billboard country charts in the song “Arlene.” Stuart garnered his first cover story in 1986, appearing in a Mid-South magazine article titled “Nashville’s New Hopes.” Also in the article were Vince Gill, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, and Lisa Angelle.
He had a hit with “Arlene”, the album did not sell well. He went forth and recorded a follow-up album, Let There Be Country, but Columbia failed to release it after he had heated the discussion with the label head over its decision to drop Johnny Cash from the Columbia roster.
Marty Stuart’s marriage to Cindy Cash ended up in divorce in 1988, leading that led Stuart’s return to Mississippi his original home. Roland White invited him to rejoin his band as their fiddler and to help Stuart build his confidence to try and become a singer. Stuart soon returned to Nashville. He landed a deal with MCA Records in 1989, formerly Decca Records.
In 1989, Marty Stuart released his first album on MCA, Hillbilly Rock. Marty Stuart found commercial success in 1990 with the album when the two songs from Hillbilly Rock became hits. The title track, “Hillbilly Rock,” was his first Top 10 hit on the Country charts. The other song, “Western Girls,” broke the Top 20. The album received positive reviews from critics, who compared Marty’s work to that of country singer Dwight Yoakam.
His album featured a cover version of Johnny Cash hit “Cry! Cry! Cry!.” In 1991, Marty Stuart released another album called Tempted, and the title track became Stuart’s first Top-5 hit. In 1991, Marty co-wrote a song with Travis Tritt called “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’.” The song was recorded as a duet on Tritt’s 1991 album It’s All About to Change, and became Marty’s biggest hit.
In 1992, his former record company, Columbia released his album called Let There Be Country. In that same year, he released the album known as This One’s Gonna Hurt You on MCA. The album’s title track, was a duet with Travis Tritt, was released as a single, and became another Top Ten hit for Stuart. This One’s Gonna Hurt You became Stuart’s first gold album.
In 1991 and 1992, Marty and Travis went on the road for the No Hats tour, which he refers to as “hat acts,” which he seemed to have a mainstream country singer and wearing a cowboy hat on stage. Although Stuart built quite a fan following, follow-up success was hard to find.
In 1994, Stuart contributed his song called “Up Above My Head / Blind Bartimus” in collaboration with Jerry Sullivan and Tammy Sullivan to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Country produced by the Red Hot Organization.
The release of his 1994 album Love and Luck turned out to be less successful than hoped. Three singles were released from the album, but only one (“Kiss Me, I’m Gone”) made the Top 40.
His record sales began to slip and led to the MCA releasing the album The Marty Party Hit Pack in 1995. This also led to a series of “Marty Party” concerts on the Nashville network. The year 1996 saw the release of another album, Honky Tonkin’s What I Do Best. Once again, sales were less than hoped. Marty Stuart released three singles, with only one reaching the Top 40.

Why Marty Stuart Wear Scarf
Stuart wears scarves because it is a link to country music and America’s vibrant Western history that Marty has worked so hard in his life to both preserve and carry on. You would think there would be much more important business to attend in the lives of country music fans than to worry about what clothing accessories.
Marty Stuart chooses to adorn his wardrobe with, but you may not find another topic of more intrigue or discussion amongst some country listeners than why Marty decides to indulge in neck finery as part of his public fashion. Now, how does the scarf come in? It’s simple. Marty scarf was a very early standard of country & western fashion.
There was no discussion on the matter with Marty himself. In fact, I would be fairly embarrassed to bring up the subject matter to him even if the opportunity presented itself. Why? Because despite all of the questions and consternation about Marty Stuart’s fluffy adornments, the answer to his scarf fetish should be quite obvious to all students of traditional country music, and Marty Stuart listeners especially.
But that didn’t stop the questions, concerns, and accusations concerning Marty’s scarves, and what they might be hiding, literally or figuratively. Did he injure his neck? Is he concealing some big scar? Perhaps he tried to hang himself and is trying to disguise the embarrassing evidence (one of the most ridiculous accusations I’ve seen).
Or perhaps he’s a dandy, you know, one of those types of dandies, despite having married Johnny Cash’s daughter once, and currently being married to Country Music Hall of Famer Connie Smith.
One of the biggest misnomers about Marty’s neckwear is that his scarves are an essential accouterment for him to be able to leave the house when in reality you can find many recent promotional photos of Marty with a naked neck.
And lo and behold, there’s no grotesque scars, embarrassing birthmarks, or big hairy moles. Some have said Marty Stuart wears scarves to conceal a neckline that has aged faster than the rest of him, but this certainly doesn’t appear to be the case in his scarf-free pictures. There is a question stating that if Marty Stuart was a man concerned with concealing his age, he could dye his hair.
Furthermore, if you look at promotional photos of Marty’s early career, sets his age as a sanding carving cruel lines into his collar, he also wore shirts that most of the time concealed his neckline. It just sorts to be his thing. So we know there is nothing Marty Stuart has to hide, then what is he trying to say with his scarves? This calls for a simple country music history lesson.
From the very beginning of country music, flashy fashion has been at his very heart of the presentation. From The Maddox Brothers & Rose in the late 1930s, he was known to have “The Most Colorful Hillbilly Band” from their flashy Western costumes, to legendary designers who became icons of their own country finery like Nudie Cohn and Manuel Couture, all the way up to today, the fashion of country music has been away for performers to show off their personality on stage.
Someone who was at the forefront of preserving all the textile history in country music is Marty Stuart, who owns a huge collection of country music memorabilia, including Nudie suits and other costumes from acts like The Maddox Brothers & Rose, Ray Price’s Cherokee Cowboys, Porter Wagoner, Johnny Cash, and many others.
The country music singers and Nashville was throwing vintage styles away throughout the 1980s and 1990s, similar to a discarding legacy of the music itself, Marty Stuart was dashing around the town, saving stylistic expressions from dumpsters and thrift shops, making him one of the most forefront students of country music show clothing that’s still living.
