Singer, guitarist, and songwriter Marty Stuart has always been a maverick in country music circles, playing traditionally minded music with a touch of rockabilly and a showman's sense of flash, and his group the Fabulous Superlatives are the ideal match for his sound and style. The Fabulous Superlatives have been backing Stuart since he released Country Music in 2003, and they've shown the sort of versatility to keep up with the bandleader as he turns from gospel (2005's Souls' Chapel) and traditional country (2012's Nashville, Vol. 1: Tear the Woodpile Down) to music of California (2017's Way Out West) and the balance of country and psychedelia as practiced by the Byrds (2023's Altitude).
