Cry!’, written and performed by Johnny Cash which was originally recorded and released in 1955. The album received critical acclaim and was compared with the work of another well-known country singer-songwriter of the same era, Dwight Yoakam. The other hit single, ‘Western Girls’ climbed up to the Top 20. The title track of the album reached the Top 10 of the country music charts.

John Marty Stuart returned to his ancestral home in Philadelphia, Mississippi, soon after his first marriage culminated into a divorce in 1988. However, Columbia Records declined to release the album due to their disagreement and consequent heated argument between Stuart and the label head regarding their decision of excluding Johnny Cash from the Columbia list. Stuart recorded his next album, ‘Let There Be Country’ immediately following his self-titled one. In spite of the success of its single ‘Arlene’, ‘Marty Stuart’ failed to succeed commercially. His musical journey so far featured prominently as a cover story titled 'Nashville's New Hopes' in a Mid-South magazine article in the same year. The first single of the album ‘Arlene’ became a Top 20 hit on the Billboard country charts.Īcademy of Country Music nominated Stuart as the Best New Male Vocalist on the basis of his performance in the album particularly for the song ‘Arlene’. His self-titled album ‘Marty Stuart’ was released on the Columbia Records label in 1986. He immediately signed a recording contract with Columbia records. He remained associated with Johnny Cash’s band until 1985 and performed in the ‘Class of 55’ album along with the rock and roll pioneers like Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash before finally leaving the band with a view to concentrate on his solo singing career. Stuart could not garner any commercial success from these two albums. Both his first and second albums were essentially bluegrass albums.

His first solo album ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’ was released in 1979 by the Ridge Runner Records label. In 1980, he joined Johnny Cash's backup band and performed as a guitar player after having worked with renowned guitarist Doc Watson. Stuart moved on and attached himself with fiddler Vassar Clements. Lester Flatt dismantled Nashville Grass in 1978 due to his deteriorating health issues. John Marty Stuart appeared with the band in the final episode of the fifth season of the American television variety show ‘Hee Haw’, which features country music among others. Stuart readily agreed to the offer extended to him by Ronald White and joined the musical group. White asked him to join the band on a permanent basis after having performed with the Nashville Grass at the Labour Day Concert held in Delaware in 1972 upon being invited by the former. He met Ronald White, principal mandolin player of the Nashville Grass band which was established in 1969 by Lester Raymond Flatt, a guitar and mandolin player of bluegrass group, soon after dropping out of school. However, after the life-changing experience of performing with a touring musical group, Stuart could not cope with the humdrum of school life and dropped out of school soon afterward. The tour concluded with the conclusion of the summer vacation of his school.
