 Marty Stuart's Compadres
Submitted on: 2009-01-06 |
|
| If you yearn for country music as it used to be, Compadres will delight you. Farmer's Blues by Merle Haggard and Marty is a family favorite. Then the older favorites: Johnny Cash, Lester Flatt,Loretta Lynn, George Jones and a few others are music to the ears. Well worth the price. |

| I bought this for my guitarist husband for his birthday. Even though we are not huge country fans, we LOVE the cd! The instrumental work is suberb, the variety is pleasing, and the artists he duets with are impressive and well suited to his musical tastes. |

 Broad selection of duets culled from 30 years of singing
Submitted on: 2007-12-29 |

| This disc pulls together fourteen duets Stuart recorded for a variety of projects over his three decades in country music. Although the broad timeframe leaves this album without the coherency of a purpose-built duets anthology, the advantages are many. The genesis in different projects translates to a lack of similarity and gives each duet an individual identity. Better yet, since Stuart wasn't hosting a parade of guests in the studio (or worse, finding time to patch together duets via tape), he's invested in finding a unique approach to each piece. The collection's earliest recording finds the 15-year-old Stuart burning down the house with his mandolin with Lester Flatt's band on a cover of "Rawhide." His instrumental skills are again displayed for an intricately picked rendition of "John Henry" that pits his mandolin against Earl Scruggs' mighty banjo. He pairs smoothly with Merle Haggard for the pleading "Farmer's Blues," rears back with a holler to match up with Johnny Cash on a 1992 take of "Doin' My Time," and finds some low notes to go toe-to-toe with George Jones on "One Woman Man." A pair of previously unreleased tracks include "Will You Visit me on Sunday," with Loretta Lynn, and an acoustic cover of The Who's "I Can See For Miles and Miles" with Old Crow Medicine Show. The former works nicely (though perhaps not as nicely as Lynn's original with Conway Twitty), while the latter is a messy translation to acoustic string-band music. Better are the tight bluegrass of Stuart and Del McCoury on the hymn "Let Us Travel, Travel On." and the slow and soulful "Move Along Train" sung with Mavis Staples. Stuart's hit duet with Travis Tritt, "The Whiskey Ain't Working" is also here. This is a nice collection for Stuart's fans, pulling together a variety of performances from a large number of original sources. [©2007 hyperbolium dot com] |

excellent collection
Submitted on: 2007-11-03 |

| The songs on this album are almost all on other albums that I already own. If you have a good collection of Marty Stuart's music, you can probably pass on this. The songs are all excellent and certainly show that Marty Stuart clearly enjoys music in many different styles and is quite versatile in performing with a wide variety of musicians. |
