With an ever-increasing list of accomplishments and achievements, the high-spirited Mississippi native defies categorization. Even Marty himself can’t pinpoint his “role” – and that’s the way he likes it.
“I really don’t know where I fit in the music business,” he says. “I just love to work. There are so many things I enjoy doing…The bottom line for me is to make good music and be the best that I can. I don’t worry about where my place is. Actually, for most of my life, I’ve not fit in and that’s fine by me.”
His greatest commercial success came in the first half of the 1990s on MCA Records Nashville. Stuart has recorded more than 20 studio albums and has charted more than 30 times on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

In 1999, Marty Stuart released an album called The Pilgrim. It charted the single that year with “Red, Red Wine and Cheatin’ Songs”. A concept album based around a love triangle, the album featured vocal contributions from Pam Tillis, George Jones, and Emmylou Harris, as well as a poem recited by Johnny Cash.
Everything about Marty Stuart – from the hand-tailored stage-wear to his ever-present mandolin – is instinctive, drawn from his vast palette of experiences. “I’ve always been influenced by what I was into at the moment,” he says. “I’ve always enjoyed artists, whether they are artists who paint or artists who make music. I love people who are open and people who are evolving at all times.”

Marty Stuart hasn’t assembled what could be the largest collection of country music memorabilia in the world because it’s trendy. He’s done it because he has a genuine interest in preserving the rich heritage of the music he loves so much.
He is a past president of the Country Music Foundation.
Just when you think Marty’s plate is surely overflowing, you recall that he’s still entertaining country fans at concerts nationwide. His high-energy shows are fun-filled romps that make audiences laugh, clap their hands, stomp their feet, sing along and beg for more.
