Covers like \u201cPicture From Life\u2019s Other Side,\u201d recorded with Hank Williams III, fit comfortably next to well-written originals like \u201cTruck Drivers\u2019 Blues,\u201d reminiscent of Del Reeves\u2019 trucker hits, and \u201cA Matter of Time,\u201d a pedal-steel-laden heartbreaker that sounds as though it\u2019s been marinating in tears and spilled whiskey. \u2013Juli Thanki<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARTY STUART AND HIS FABULOUS SUPERLATIVES Nashville, Vol. 1: Tear the Woodpile Down [Sugar Hill] Over the course of his four decades in Nashville, Marty Stuart has transformed from 13-year-old bluegrass prodigy to radio\u00a0hit-maker and finally elder statesman.
