Still Great After All These Years
Feb 17 2004
Format:Audio CD
One of Marty's early efforts and one that well stands the test of time. This is one of those that 10 or so CDs that are required listening on a long road trip. Marty draws on his vast network of "friends in high places" in the music business and draws out the best of their varied talents to produce a CD that belongs in every country and bluegrass fan's collection. Thanks Marty!

Busy Bee Cafe is a wonderful record. It highlights Marty Stuart's fabulous instrumental abilities. The record includes Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Merle Watson and many more. I enjoyed Marty's vocal contributions as well, he sounds great on Busy Bee Cafe. His voice is young and not as strong as he is now, but very enjoyable. I was surprised to see the other reviewer say he did not like The Pilgrim. I think The Pilgrim is Marty's best work and a first rate record.
Recorded 20 years ago, but sounds fresh and vital...

I was surprised to see this early Marty Stuart release still in print, simply because 1982 was a long time back. Musically, however, this is a country/bluegrass treasure. Marty is of course, an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist. Here he plays a couple of guitars, mandolin, and sings on half the cuts. Joining him are a bunch of nobodies: Johnny Cash, who sings on three selections, including one of my favorites, "One More Ride" which was written by Bob Nolan of the Sons of the Pioneers; Earl Scruggs, who adds banjo to two tunes; Doc Watson, who adds his guitar to five numbers and the harmonica to one, and Merle Watson, Carl Jackson, and Jerry Douglas on guitar, banjo and dobro, respectively. Marty Stuart has been getting paid for pickin' since he was 13, and he made this album when he was 30...so while it is a debut as the lead performer, it is also the product of a veteran player. He chose fine songs, great accompaniment, and has a nice balance with vocals and instrumentals, uptempo and ballads, blues style and boogie. I bought his recent work "Pilgrim" with high hopes, but was disappointed with it overall, and gave it away after a few listens. I got this release with no expectations at all, and play it a great deal. It produces happiness. That alone makes it worth buying. If you want to know why Marty Stuart seems to have the respect of the country, bluegrass, traditional, folk and rock artists who sell ten times as many records as he does, "Busy Bee Cafe" gives the answer.
