My favorite country concept album is Dwight Yoakam’s “Dwight’s Used Records.” Dwight’s songs pulled from tribute albums and guest appearances on other artists’ albums, displays the breadth of Yoakam’s work with a conciseness that his own albums never could. He lends a bluegrass feel to the Flying Burrito Brothers’ “Wheels,” adds a loping, Johnny Cash-style arrangement to Little Eva’s R&B classic “The Locomotion,” and duets with everyone from Deana Carter to Ralph Stanley. It’s astounding to hear in one place just how easily Yoakam fits into rootsy mountain bluegrass, honky-tonk country, smooth adult contemporary pop, and earthy blues-inspired country-rock.

My favorite Marty titles are Burn Me Down, Tempted and High On A Mountain Top. I feel his integration of performers, styles, and history to the studio and stage, has been my true love for what he stands for. With that being said, instead of telling you my favorite concept album, I want to conceptualize a new album for Marty. How great would it be to work with Brian Setzer (for a little revisit to rockabilly), The Chieftains (for some roots music), with Radney Foster (what talent!), Dan Tyminski (hardcore bluegrass), Darius Rucker (a new duet), Eric Clapton (some instrumental picking), and the great Vince Gill (for some traditional country music)? WOW…..that would be a CONCEPT ALBUM!!!!

Wow some of these folks have brought up some great albums. Two not mentioned that were certainly two of the best were by the ol’ wagonmaster Porter Wagoner. His “Cold Hard Facts of Life” was a haunting masterpiece. His “Skidrow Joe” album made you believe Porter had lived every line. True country excellence as is Marty and the guys!

Without question: Marty’s “The Pilgrim.”

Can’t narrow it down to just one: Marty Stuart’s “The Pilgrim,” The Statler Brothers’ “Old Testament” and “New Testament”, Asleep At The Wheel’s “Ride With Bob,” Don Bowman’s “Whispering Country” (in which the subject of the parodies, Bill Anderson, called the whole thing – with tongue firmly planted in cheek – “a vicious attack on an innocent man!”), and Kenny Rogers and the First Edition’s “The Ballad of Calico” come to mind.
How can one choose?

I first got hooked on Marty Stuart with hillbilly rock and Tempted as just a start not only his music but his moves make each song. He has a lot to contribute not just to country music but with everything he does.

This is just too hard to choose from. All of Marty’s sounds and country contributions are too numeious as well as numerous to put into words. I really enjoy all his work from his music to his county flare. Have to say I have seen him up close and personal and he is as genuine as they get. Great sound and great songs. Thats What Love Is All About, Tempted, Burn Me Down, Hillbilly Rock…… too many to choose from. Enjoy and always value the contribution he has made to country music. Also, really love how he values and enjoys what he does because it really shows in his work.

Although it is not traditionally thought of as a concept album, I’d have to say Bob Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline” which has that great duet with Johnny Cash
