Country Star Brings Music, Fans to Bayside Concert Country star brings music, fans to bayside concert Posted by Dick Myers On 08/04/2015 Chesapeake Beach, MD -- The hair’s all there; it’s just a lot grayer. Although it’s been more than 30 years since he had a Country Top 10 hit on his own, Marty Stuart’s voice is still strong, his shows entertaining and his fans adoring as witnessed his Aug. 2 show at Chesapeake Beach Resort & Spa “Rock the Dock” summer concert series. Marty Stuart and his band the Superlatives packed the house, or in this case the beach and Tiki Bar, for the hour-and-a-half set that had the audience clapping and singing along to their brand of country, honky tonk and rockabilly. And after the show Stuart and his band stayed behind to sign posters, sell CDs and memorabilia, and to interact with their fans. Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa owner Gerald Donavan told the BayNet that Stuart was “a class act.” Stuart told the audience that the first records he owned as a five-year-old child were by Johnny Cash and Lester Flatt. Ironically Stuart early in his career played with both of their bands. He said he still is into their music and country music in general to this day. Stuart broke into the country limelight as a solo artist in the early 1980’s with such Top 10 hits as “Hillbilly Rock,” “Little Things,” “Tempted,” “Burn Me Down” and “This One’s Gonna Hurt for a Long, Long Time” (with Travis Tritt). Stuart and Tritt collaborated on the 1991 Number Two chart hit “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin'” and then they toured together in the successful “No Hats” tour, a poke at all the other country starts who were wearing cowboy hats at the time. Marty Stuart and the Superlatives from their opening song performed an upbeat, high energy concert of Stuart’s hits, including “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin” and many country favorites, such as “Gold Ring on Her Finger” and “I Kissed Her.” Stuart gives all three of the Superlatives -- Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson and Paul Martin -- a chance to sing solo and also show off their accomplished musical skills. Stuart noted that his wife Connie Smith will soon be celebrating her 50th year on the Grand Ole Opry and he was looking forward to being with her on that occasion (Smith was one of the hosts at the Grand Ole Opry on July 4th attended by this writer). These days in addition to touring Stuart is host of the regular Marty Stuart Show on cable’s RFD-TV. His most recent album, “Saturday Night, Sunday Morning” was released last year on his Superlatone label. Marty Stuart and the Superlatives were part of the summer-long concert series at Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa.

  • Billy Bob Thornton Interview
    A Conversation with Billy Bob Thornton by Frank Goodman Puremusic 1/2002 I had known that Billy Bob was slated to star in the new Travis Tritt video, “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde.” Brother JB is our publisher, and he and my brother-in-law Gary Falcon manage Travis, so I’d been privy to the video developments. Everybody was up about it, it was obviously not going to be your average Country video. It doesn’t take much to get me to pack a suitcase and go almost anywhere, my gypsy ways never changed. So when it occurred to JB that flying me out to L.A. might land us a Puremusic interview with Billy Bob Thornton about his new record, I was basically in the air. I didn’t mind waiting for JB to turn up at LAX a couple of hours after me, I was engrossed in Ann Patchett’s The Magician’s Assistant, and having a big time. We got out to the high desert location, outside Palmdale. There’s an old abandoned little motel out there called The Four Aces, it’s used exclusively for videos and movies today. The desert’s funny like that. Something goes out of business, they just leave it there and walk away, let the elements have at it. I took some pictures of this old Spanish-style mortuary, I liked the sign that said “Open.” I really enjoyed the record, Private Radio. I know, we don’t usually cotton to records by actors. Visions of William Shatner singing “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” or the shocking crooning of Jim Nabors comes to mind.

    3/27/1852 From:Charles H. Howard To: Mother [Eliza Gilmore] CHH-001 Kent's Hill, Maine Kent's Hill, March, 27, 1852. [This is Charles' first letter away from home. He was 13, born Aug 28, 1838] Dear Mother, I now sit down to tell you how I get along away from all of my friends, for I believe that I have never been away before except that some one of my brothers has been with me but I don't know but what I get along as well so far as though some one of my friends had been with me. I am situated in a pleasant room with a pleasant room-mate. I was lucky enough to get in with Mr. Hewet whom I was acquainted with before this I suppose Rowland informed you of. Anyone would hardly think but that if I am pleasantly situated I might be happy. But although I said I did not know but I prospered as well so far without my brothers with me, yet I do not feel so well, I feel sometimes home sick but not much. But this is nothing, I can't expect to be at home with my mother always, tho I should like to be. My health is the main thing for sure. It is as good as when I left home I think. I like Mr. Torsey [Henry P. Torsey, Headmaster of Kent's Hill School] well as a teacher. I have not spoken with him since I saw him with Rowland at the Mansion.

  • MARTY STUART TRAVELS from SATURDAY NIGHT to SUNDAY MORNING by Mario Tarradell
    MARTY STUART TRAVELS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT TO SUNDAY MORNING By Mario Tarradell Country music singer, songwriter, guitarist, TV show host and historian continues to mine the rich treasures of American roots music Marty Stuart spent nine years journeying from Saturday night into Sunday morning. That’s no hyperbole. The country singer, songwriter, guitarist, TV show host and noted historian took nearly a decade to craft his expansive and ambitious double-album, Saturday Night/Sunday Morning. The just-released effort not only combines Stuart’s predilection for all things American roots music – country, rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, gospel and bluegrass – but it also tells a story. “I wanted it to flow as a continuation, as an evolution,” says Stuart, 56, by phone from his home in Nashville. “We toured all the while making this record. The more we developed the idea, the more songs started piling up.” As the title suggests, Saturday Night/Sunday Morning captures the dichotomous reality of raising hell and seeking heaven. It’s about night and day, dark and light; the balancing act of feeding the flesh and nourishing the soul. The Saturday Night disc is all about the honky-tonk, while the Sunday Morning CD is all about the church. Stuart calls it “spiritual warfare,” noting that it’s a fine line we all struggle with in our lives. The gospel harmonies on the Sunday Morning side are particularly impressive, recalling the best of the Oak Ridge Boys and the Staple Singers. Stuart and his longtime band, the Fabulous Superlatives, found common ground as people in that musical world of Southern gospel.
