“I like the idea of joining forces with Snakefarm. Marty Stuart certainly qualifies in that class. Often country artists that don’t exactly fit the pop country mold do quite well over in Europe, and sometimes even better than in the United States. Along with being the record label for Texas music artist Austin Meade, the label is also the UK and/or European home for Whiskey Myers, Marcus King, and even major label artists such as Eric Church and Kip Moore. Spinefarm Records is mostly known as a heavy metal label, but its Snakefarm imprint has lots of ties to American music and country specifically. The announcement comes as Marty is getting ready to tour Europe, and hopefully, announce new music. Snakefarm is a subsidiary of the label SpineFarm Records, whose parent company is the Universal Music Group. Announced on Friday (8-12), Marty Stuart has signed to the European label Snakefarm Records. Lester Flatt would be proud to see his advice pay off.For those wondering what Marty Stuart has been up to and when he might release new music, there is some big news. Marty Stuart is a complete artist-singer, songwriter and expert picker. His debut LP Hillbilly Rock has produced two hit singles, "Cry, Cry, Cry" and his first Top 10 hit "Hillbilly Rock." Stuart would spend the next two years working on his songwriting and polishing his trademark around which Marty describes as "hillbilly music with a thump." Stuart eventually landed a label deal with MCA Records. Marty Stuart was his first attempt as a lead singer and the beginning of a style that would be all his own. In 1986, Stuart made his major label debut on CBS Records with Marty Stuart. Stuart produced his first solo album in 1982, Busy Bee Cafe, on the independent Sugar Hill label. It was also during this time that Marty began his six-year stint touring with Johnny Cash. After Flatt's death in 1979, Stuart branched out musically, playing what he describes as sort of "bluegrass-fusion" style with fiddle player Vassar Clements and also working with acoustic guitar virtuoso Doc Watson. You need to wait for your time to come around'." And that's exactly what Marty did. "Lester always said, 'Marty, there will be a time when things are going to cool off. From Lester, Marty learned to build slow and build a foundation. If it hadn't been for Lester, I probably wouldn't be here today," Marty states. "Lester taught me the basic rules of show business-how to endure. It was at the age of 13 that Marty joined the Lester Flatt show playing guitar and mandolin. "I'll be working tours, fairs, honky tonks, everywhere until the end of December," Marty states, "and then we'll be releasing my new album in February." Marty described the new album as true hillbilly music-possibly the best work he's ever done.Īlthough "Hillbilly Rock" was Stuart's first Top 10 hit, Marty spent much of his young life on stage. Marty will also be touring extensively in support of the Hillbilly Rock LP. So this song is dedicated to all the cowgirls," he says. "Paul Kennerley (co-writer) and I were talking about there are just as many cowgirls as cowboys out there. "She came in one day and showed me the step," Marty says, "and it was exactly what I wanted." And so began the "Hillbilly Rock."įollowing the success of "Hillbilly Rock," the third single, "Western Girls," has been released.
Video producer Joann Gardner then suggested they try Jean Whitaker at Opryland Talent. "I knew when I heard "Hillbilly Rock," I wanted some type of street dance," Marty Stuart says about his latest Top 10 Hit, "Hillbilly Rock." We had talked about bringing in a choreographer from New York, but I wanted something children, adults and honky tonkers could all do," he explains.
