This is being hailed as an unquestionable winner in publications ranging from the secular to the urban gospel. I’m not the only one who had that thinking. And he sings them! Marty Stuart has always been a favorite of mine, and in my view, this is one of his best albums. When Marty was on tour, he started performing gospel music on the bus and eventually moved to the stage. ![]() I also felt powerless not being able to live out the message of what I was singing about here.” - Marty Stuart The truth is, the creative process of this record was stalled when I got arrested and sent to jail for DUI. He said, “Gospel music should represent the truth. It became official when Mavis and Yvonne gave them Pops Staples’ guitar. His decision to return to his gospel bluegrass origins as a 12-year-old mandolin player with the Sullivan Family Singers and begin living a life on purpose was a turning point in his life. Unfortunately, many secular musicians view something like a DUI as virtually a badge of pride, signifying that they have achieved “bad boy” status. In Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives – Souls’ Chapel, old-time country, the Delta blues, and the distinctive Marty Stuart sound all come together in a spectacular manner. This disc strives to comprehend and remember. However, I believe that remembering, respecting, and comprehending those who fought is a positive beginning. Political correctness pushes us too far in the other direction, so I don’t see Westerners uprooting and returning to Europe in an effort to atone for our transgressions. I occasionally believe that our country goes too far in its defense of Manifest Destiny. ![]() He gives voice to great leaders like Crazy Horse, Big Foot, Sitting Bull, and others who made valiant attempts to protect their people and way of life but were unsuccessful. More of it is told from the other side in Marty’s songs. I have always been familiar with the names of both sides’ heroes, but Custer and the 7th Cavalry inevitably dominate most of history. My father studied the same part of history as Marty does, from the Battle of Wounded Knee through the Battle of the Little Bighorn, when I was a child. He first gave us “The Pilgrim,” in 1999, a work of unparalleled brilliance, and now we have “Badlands.” However, country music has a few, and Marty Stuart has recorded two of them. It happens more frequently in rock music, where you can hear self-contained operas like Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” or Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out Of Hell,” or other albums that convey a whole story. The record as a whole is so much more rich when it is kept together, so while there may be one or two songs that could be “radio hit,” they aren’t necessary. With “Badlands,” a stunning ode to the American Indian, notably the plains Indians of the Dakota Badlands, he accomplishes it once more. Marty Stuart accomplished this feat once previously with the spectacular release of “The Pilgrim.” in 1999. It’s uncommon for an artist to present an entire album on a single, strong theme where all the songs mesh together in perfect harmony in this era of sound-byte hit tunes and bottom-line corporate expectations for same.
