Stuart then spent quite a bit of time as a journeyman sideman playing acoustic and electric guitar for Doc & Merle Watson, fiddler Vassar Clements, and most significantly a long stint as lead guitarist for Johnny Cash. Stuart's own career as a leader didn't hit hard until 1989's "Hillbilly Rock" (1989), which pretty much sums up Stuart's traditionally minded, hard country sound. This record was a hit, as were many of the records that followed. Stuart is an inveterate collector of country memorabilia, owning several of Hank Williams guitars as well as Clarence White's original B-bender Telecaster guitar. - Tom HeymanNew Traditional Bluegrassen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:26:50 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68459&rws=%2Fmarty-stuart%2Fmusic-videos.rss Marty Stuart's road to country superstardom began at age 13 when he was hired as a mandolinist by Bluegrass legend Lester Flatt, with whom he played until Flatt's death in 1979.
