This week’s show is a look back to March of 2012, one of many times Mountain Stage has partnered with the Birthplace of Country Music over the years.
"The main difference that I see in now and when I first came to Nashville is, back then it seemed that the most outlaw thing you could do around here was to take country music and blow it up into rock & roll. Today, the most outlaw thing you can possibly do in Nashville Tennessee is play country music."
Marty Stuart on Mountain Stage in Bristol, Tennesee in 2012
Hear Marty Stuart as he makes his third appearance on Mountain Stage, alongside his band The Fabulous Superlatives, recorded live in the border town of Bristol, TN/VA. A virtuoso guitarist by any definition of the term, Stuart’s band also includes some of the most sought-after pickers in Nashville, if not the world.
Tune in to hear the full performance from Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, as well as sets from Blue Highway, The Pines, The McCrary Sisters, and John Fullbright.

This week, WVPB is hosting a special screening event at Marshall University with excerpts from Ken Burns’ The American Revolution, and Kay will lead a panel discussion. We once again hear from Kay, this time speaking with one of the panelists — Marshall University political science professor George Davis — about why revisiting the nation’s founding story still matters.
