Here's the Letterman appearance that we were talking about. It's impossible for me to be in a bad mood while watching this video. Impossible!
ruclips.net/video/Cx_l9kLxycw/видео.html
I was just about to look this up, so thanks. We sort of took it for granted back then. Now, I long for those better days. edit: dayum, they were tearin' ..it ...to pieces!
They kicked some ass there!
i have a few amps but my fav is my hot rodded deluxe reverb silver face oh man that with my bbe boosta grande its on👍
I'm trying to learn this now but damn. It's magnificent. I've been blasting it since I saw this video of yours, Otis.
Also you must be big into Mojo on the XM. You both address everybody as "friends" albeit in a different way.
Otis, i was smiling through the whole thing, with a whole lot of chuckles for punctuation. Thank you. Love the show.
Marty Stuart and The Fabulous Superlatives are the best band I’ve ever seen. They will tear off the roof of ANY joint!
@@buckhorncortez Good one! 🤣😂
Vaughan is an animal on the guitar
Just watched it again...damn boys that was hot stuff
Yep. Only band I’ve seen that compares might be the Beat Farmers
@@joeywho534 So, how was the show?
I can imagine because I've had the pleasure twice.
Marty Stuart and Kenny Vaughn are SO great - they're unappreciated American National Music Treasures. Nuff sed.
Folks who know Marty and Kenny and the other Superlative’s work DO appreciate what they do, though.
They’re holding a line that is rapidly deteriorating, which is the last vestiges of true country western music.
Kenny Vaughn’s playing speaks for itself, always superlative. Besides Kenny’s great playing, he is one of the most humble, kindest individuals that you will ever meet.
Kenny Vaughn is an amazing guitar player and tremendous talent. I really enjoy watching him work with Marty Stuart. My favorite Marty Stuart song is “Porter Wagoner’s Grave”. The first time I heard it, it just left me in a pile on the floor. It’s tough for me to choose one favorite Marty Stuart song because I have really so many, but this one just tore my heart out. Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives are the best band in Country Music in my opinion. It’s a real shame that they are not played on country radio stations.
I agree. Great band. I've seen them in person, from an up-close seat. Amazing talent. They don't get played on country radio because they ARE COUNTRY. That pretty much excludes them from so-called country radio (which I never listen to anymore). I have a great library of classic country music, and it's on thumb drives for my car too.
Well it's not so bad radio stations we grew up with are on the internet with RUclips tunes etc. I can't remember the last time I listened to music on the over the air radio 🎉
I've said, for probably 15 to 20 years, that Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives are, in my opinion, the finest straight-up country music band in the world.
I had met Marty Stuart at Merlefest in 2007, and among all the other exceptional musicians there he was by far the friendliest and most personable artist. He was happy to take the time to meet and talk with people, take photos, etc. it really made an impression on me. These guys are just doing what they do and having a good time on the way!
Otis,Its Always Cool ta Listen to Kenny,on your Show and Others as well,to Experience,like I was there,as I listen about the Cool Past that's Always Still,present in those stories.Take care,nah!Jcs
Kenny is such a cool dude and a truly spectacular musician. That performance was killer !!
There's the public television show about country music. I don't believe it would have been any good at all without Marty Stuart . His repertoire of songs is earth shaking. He actually would reminisce about songs in that documentary and sing it out or play and be spot on. Wow. He is unbelievable and we are blessed to have his presence in music of all genres. His best song? Whatever Marty feels like playing at any given moment.
I bless your generosity, my highest gratitude and appreciation for all the love and support you have been showing me and my music, am so grateful. God bless you! 🙏🎸🎙
I remember hearing his interpretation of "Running Down the Dream" one night, while watching his show. I was speechless. I just kept rewinding and listening over and over. Marty is awesome. A true treasure to music!
I only came across this guy a few days ago and he has already changed the way I play guitar. I'm really glad I caught him while he's still going.
The first time I saw Marty Stuart he was playing mandolin with John Prine and Philip Donnelly was playing lead. I could not believe what a great talent Stuart was and how the camera loved him. There were only the three of them that night, I was also greatly impressed by Phillip Donnelly, he passed away in 2019. I am going to guess it was in maybe 1979 or so, of course Stuart had been performing professionally since he was about 13 or so but it was the first time I saw him. I worked a show as the electrician where he was there with Travis Tritt, Tracy Lawrence and George Jones, that would have been 94 or 95. Stuart came on stage and I kept watching him, he has that charisma. I cannot remember the first time I noticed Kenny Vaughan but as soon as he did one of the riffs I knew he was someone special. I sort of remember when it was but I can't remember who he was with, not that he pushed anyone out of the way it was just, wow that guy is some great guitarist.
@RE Gunter Philip Donnelly was great. Sad loss. Great to hear Kenny talk. Nothing like a Princeton reverb. Good ol country music. I like his last album Way out West. That song’s good. He always reminds me a bit of Johnny Cash. Thanks Otis.
First time I saw Marty was at the Choctaw Indian Fair and he was playing with Lester Flatt and we think it was 1974. (Maybe 1975, some dispute with my Mother on that one)
Best band musicianship-wise and best band showmanship-wise. They are simply the best band to see live. Amazing that Kenny Vaughn could refer to himself as “the lowly guitar player.” He’s a god!
A little bit of irony.
And, Marty Stewart has the best hair since Glen Campbell!
And Marty's chops ain't too shabby either.
No argument about "best band touring" from me. I've NEVER seen a tighter show.
FWIW, Kenny said recently that Scruggs is a better guitar player. Hard to believe.
@@joshuafuller9898 I saw that too, but I've heard Marty call KV the best guitar player in the world while Scruggs was next to him on stage. I have no doubt Scruggs is great, but I don't really think it gets any better than Kenny. There are others on his level, but that's about it.
Cool stories, Otis. Hearing a guitarist like Kenny talk shop is a privilege. He and Marty and the other two band members are indeed under-appreciated, but those who do know, know. I saw them in June ‘22 in Brown County, Indiana. Also, saw them open for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit in Cincinnati in late 2021. And I saw them backing Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman on the Byrds’ Sweetheart of the Rodeo 50th anniversary tour at the Ryman. I would go see them once a week if I could.
Kenny Vaughn is a monster guitar player. Playing harmony with Marty note for note. Shazam
I first saw Kenny Vaughan play on RFD-TV's airings of the The Marty Stuart Show. I was blown away by "Cousin Kenny" and his musicianship. Fabulous Superlative is the right name! Thanks for the interview!
It seems I remember when they had Willie Nelson on, Leroy Troy dropped his hillbilly comic persona and played it straight
me too!
Round 1990 I was mixing monitors at a fair in S Florida, Kenny was with Sweethearts Of The Rodeo. His guitar cut out a few times he looked over and I ran out pushed in plugs in his pedal, sound came back! I ran back to my board, his guitar cut out again, I went out on stage, held that input cable into his pedal until the song ended and he removed it from chain. For this guy who had stage freight x100 it was a memorable moment for me. We were both young in our careers, so glad to see his done well, and I love his work with Marty.
One good thing about these days is before your video was over I opened another window and found the Letterman clip. Holy Shit, that was smokin'!
Just ordered a couple Marty Stuart/Superlatives albums.
"2 little Fender amps our guitars and a tuner".....the simplicity and brilliance in 1 comment.
Never even listened to a Marty Stewart song (knowingly). But that was a great story. Letterman show had so many great musicians perform. Thanks for making this video.
Can’t get enough of this guy. That letterman appearance still gives me goosebumps. Total class, total fun, total showmen.
I saw Marty Stuart on Austin City Limits with his band and was blown away. Really, really good players and songs. Bought a few of his Albums after that. Toss up between King of Dixie and High on a Mountain Top as my favorites.
Anything Marty and Band plays, is my Favorite
Never forget the day Marty had Kenny launch into Pipeline at the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival as their final encore after shouts from the audience requesting it. As usual, Kenny was awesome! Great show by Marty and the band.
I could listen to a Kenny Vaughan tell stories for days. There’s just no negative about it, it’s just fun!
Love it! Marty was my guy back in high school and just keeps getting better. High On A Mountain Top easily my favorite. Marty is the ultimate purveyor of Epic Country music.
"Road Hot" I know exactly what that means. 😂
These stories are the best
I've had this Letterman appearance stashed in my favorites, for ages! I'm glad so many other folks were as blown away by this performance as I was!
I saw Marty Stuart with Kenny Vaughan open up for Chris Stapleton in 2018. His backing band was superb. Great show! 🎵
I've replayed that Letterman gig many times. They were so ON! It was so tight and self-assured to the last chord.
Marty Stuart is an amazing wealth of information about country music. He knows so many stories it is always a pleasure to listen to him share stories.
Marty is Royalty!!!!!!!!
The gentleman talking here is Kenny Vaughan he plays in Marty Stuart's band The Fabulous Superlatives.
Kenny is such a low key self effaciing guy.
Otis is great too.
That performance is a classic. Somewhat unrelated, Way Out West is amazing, the entire album, and Kenny's tone on his Glaser Bender demo vid on the metalflake Tele...also wow.
Thank goodness for Marty Stewart. He is a truly a musician’s musician. Ya gotta love his expertise and experience.
Wait until you hear Marty Stuart, he's even better!
I really appreciate these videos, they are wonderful time capsule.
Great video featuring one of the very best! Thanks and keep 'em comin'.
Kenny along with Dave Roe and Maxwell Schauf played on my first self-produced project in Nashville back in 2001 or so. He was a nice guy. We cut all the tracks in one day. Kenny used my Martin HD-28 for some rhythm tracks (and complimented me on it). And he did some quick solo work on one song that I still love to listen to. I always thought it would be a great Opry number….if I ever got invited. (I didn’t.) Really enjoyed this, Otis.
Thanks Otis, for sharing these videos of one of my favorite guitar players, Kenny Vaughn! It's great to hear him tell his stories . . so personable!
How can I NOT say that this is my favorite Marty Stuart (AHFS) song? In fact, I think that this is now my favorite song in the world. Letterman had some cool musical guests and was obviously well acquainted with their virtuosity. I always appreciated that about his run.
I watch the Letterman performance every so often because it's perfection and pure quality. Harry Stinson rocks the drums and Paul Martin plays all of the right stuff.
Great interview. I love Kenny and Marty and their band and the wonderful music they put out. Letterman gig couldn't have gone better. Thanks.
Marty - and Steve Earle - are why I wanted to live in Nashville. I've loved him since Busy Bee Cafe. He only gets better. Treasures, indeed.
I know this feeling. And Kenny is a reliable witness. Like him right off.
Marty, Kenny, and the rest of the superlatives are the very best. I've seen them all .Well almost all. They eat ,sleep , music. Great guys and absolutely fantastic musicians.
Thanks, Otis, another great video. Your channel originally attracted me because I would see some of my songwriting and performance favorites in the stills as I scrolled, but you've really turned me on to some with whom I wasn't familiar. You yourself being one. I knew who Kenny Vaughn was, but i really enjoy hearing his stories and exploring his catalog more in depth. Thanks, brother, I'm grateful.
My band Hank Flamingo opened for Marty in Dauphin, Manitoba at a two day weekend festival. We got invited up to sit in with Marty and his band for the last song and played "Whole Lot a Shakin Goin On". They plugged me in to half of that Marty Twin 4 plex he was using at the time. It was forkin loud!!
Country Boy Rock & Roll, Kenny's guitar work on that one is superlative indeed.
Thanks a ton for these clips, Otis. Truly wonderful content. Whole Lotta Highway from Way Out West or The Lonely Kind off of Nashville Vol. 1 are in contention for Marty Stuart favorites!
Good stuff Otis, thanks for all the work you do.
Peace from Texas ✌️
Thanks, Kevin!
Once a year I repost that song on Facebook just to remind people how great that performance was. I agree it's in the top 5 of Letterman's musical performances. They just casually tear down the joint with smiles on their faces and lavender western clothes.
Hearing these interviews is so enlightening to any guitar player or musician.... he was definitely in the right place at the right time. Thanks Kenny and....you too Otis!!!🎩🇺🇸🎩
I love Kenny Vaughn and the Superlatives behind Marty. Kenny is super cool. Thanks for posting this interview and thanks for always letting your guests talk.
Thank you Mr. Otis sir for doing these! I look forward to each and every one. I first saw Marty and the Superlatives in Charlotte in I want to say ‘09. At that time they were sometimes doing full electric or full acoustic shows, I’d paid extra for the ‘gold circle’ seats- front and center in front of Marty, and was initially disappointed when I got to my seat and a mandolin and a few Martin’s in front of Harry’s kit (no Clarence). They got 3 tunes in and I realized Kenny didn’t need a telecaster and a Princeton and Marty didn’t need Clarence. What Kenny played on his Martin was every bit as rockin/jazzin/country’n as anything I’d ever seen or heard. Been blessed to see them multiple times since. Most recently with Kenny on his B-Paisley with Glaser bender and Marty playing Clarence. They are IMO simply the best band in America. I excitedly waited for Way Out West to drop in I think, March of 2017 and I literally listened to nothing else for the next 18 months. Please put up some more cousin Kenny interviews!!!
Love it Otis! Ive seen them live a couple times… Kenny is incredible!
Thank you for this wonderful interview and gear talk.
Damn, I could listen to him all day long....more please! 🙏
Awesome interview! Thanks so much.
Well Otis... never heard of Kenny or Marty until today and I'm 56 from the UK (so Bluegrass not so popular) but deeeyamn... that was some outstanding guitar playing from the top shelf. Love your music and thanks for introducing other great musicians and bands to folks across the world 😎😎👍👍
This is why they're my favorite country band working right now.
Wow, what a great song and their singing was top notch too! Great interview, thanks for posting this.
Cousin Kenny is truly amazing. I love his work and the Lucinda Williams stuff too. I’d give up my left foot to play like him. I’d be happier than hell to play like that. Great sound and he’s totally underrated.
Great episode! Love Cousin Kenny and his stories. More please!
i love everything Marty and the gang does,got to meet them in Bakersfield at Bucks Place they all signed my old guitar.
I really like the idea of Marty Stuart putting his own amp chassis back in its cab, on tour. Awesome story
Great interview, Thanks
Thanks for delivering the good stuff Otis!
Time Waits for No One. Amazing that Kenny saw The Dead with Pigpen, and Jimi and Clapton live. His memoir will be amazing too.
I’ve seen Marty live and it’s a pleasure to see a Telecaster straight into an amp and played with skill and grace. It’s about touch.
yesss
Check out Roy Buchanan.He would use the tone control on his Telecaster to simulate a wah pedal and the volume control to simulate a volume pedal.To get some overdrive without murdering the audience he would point his Fender Twin to face the back of the stage.
@@pedrobrando4606 roy was incredible doin things wayyyyyy before anyone else was
@@pedrobrando4606 Roy mostly used a Vibrolux.
Another brilliant video Otis.
Thanks Sir.
I saw the Marty Party!in the day,with Tracy Lawrence,and the one and only double tough Chris Ledoux! I saw Chris three times,even towards the end,and he never disappointed,and Marty is simply a Legend.Tempted,is one of my favorites by my man Marty.
Great episode Ottie!! Love Kenny Vaughn stories and his guitarin’!!
Thanks Otis I love Marty and the Superlatives Especially cousin Kenny! It's just too hard for me to pick favorite songs. Thanks again
_yyý%$$f nikki
im a rock blues guy from nyc never heard of these guys really!! BLOWN AWAY AT THE PERFORMANCE!! what a great video...thanks so much
Just found you today, Otis. Thanks for the video, and the love.
So glad that your video showed up on my Google feed this am. I enjoyed it a year or so ago [and the awesome Letterman performance link!] and it’s still terrific! Hope you are good. I bought one of your tee shirts back in early Covid. ❤❤❤
Nice. Kenny is definitely one of my big guitar heroes. I got to meet him when he played in Winston Salem, NC a few years ago. We had a great conversation. Unpretentious indeed.
Marty and Kenny are the most uplifting and inspiring players imaginable.
Fortunately we don't have to.
I just stumbled on to this channel. Otis, I love the laid back presentation and conversations with my musical heroes
Great vid ! Love Kenny Vaughn ! Fav Marty Sturart song...."You Can't Stop Love"
back in my bar band days I learned 'Tempted' ..I just loved that chord progression. good interview again Otis..thanks so much
Hi from Victoria Canada. Just discovered your channel. Quality.
Thanks, keep going..!
Incredible musician . That clip on Letterman shows how COUNTRY should sound!
Been digging Kenny's fine playing since I first saw him w Sweethearts of the Rodeo in the 1980s. Thanks for all the great music you've given us, and love to hear you speak about the gigs.
First time I saw Kenny play was with Rodney Crowell. It was at the ‘Ace Of Clubs’ in Nashville. Rodney introduced him a ‘Buddy X’. Had to have been the early to mid 90s.
I have seen the Fabulous Superlatives live. The best show I ever saw, love these guys.
They should be much bigger stars than they are. People don’t know what’s good,
lackluster mediocre stuff is what many seem to go for today.
Boy, you’re not kidding! They should be much bigger than they are! I just saw them the other night and it was a smokin hot show!!
Couldn’t agree more.
So enjoyed this interview! I'm amazed at how I've been playing listening to music for a lifetime and how at 65, I am still discovering musicians and bands that I never knew of before now. Probably, because I was too busy working, etc. But, in the last year I have been made aware of new to me musicians and music and I am such a Marty Stuart fan and love everyone in his Fabulous Superlatives band!
Thanks for pinning the Letterman clip. I watched it about half way through this one and then came back. Great stories about the gig and the amps etc. Very relatable for us older guitarists. Well, let me clarify, I have never been on Letterman. Lol
Great interview!!!!
Fantastic. I'm a backline guy for most of my adult life (20 years at SIR in Miami and an bit in NY too), so it was really really cool for me to hear the chat about the amps! and I love the "where are the pedals?" part. So awesome. Also cool about the SIR LA amp Marty had to have. Big fan of Marty and Kenny!! And who knew Kenny was a Pig Pen era Deadhead? Wicked cool!!
And saw Howlin' Wolf when he was 14?
I had no idea he was a Dead guy. Makes me like him even more. I saw him and Marty a few months ago and those guys don't need pedals.
I loved that story! I hope you got more on Marty and more from Kenny . :)
Thank you Otis. I have a deep admiration for Kenny Vaughan. He is a most humble amazing human being blessed with the talent of music that very few can even imagine.
And hopefully he's still married to Carmela. An absolutely stunningly beautiful woman. And man can that gal sing.!
I bless your generosity, my highest gratitude and appreciation for all the love and support you have been showing me and my music, am so grateful. God bless you! 🙏🎸🎙
Really glad I found you Otis, great stuff!
KENNY!!! I love listening to Kenny. Love you guys!
Its great listening to Kenny , learn so much.
Thanks for sharing this. I saw the Letterman show by chance browsing RUclips and found this the same way. It was really great to watch the show and think about it but then to hear this Kenny Vaughn's comments afterwards was such a treat. I remember watching the show without much experience with either artist (can you believe?) and thinking these guys are having fun. Who is that guitarist. And to learn that it has become such a well-watched show is great. Thanks again.
great footage ...thnxxxx
Marty has some great ones, but I gotta say, I still can't get enough of his "Way Out West" album - seriously, anything off of it (though in concert I LOVE when they cover Marty Robbins). Then again, how can you go wrong with Marty and the boys AND Mike Campbell...oh man to have been a fly on the wall for those sessions!
Didn’t discover it until last fall. Really is a piece of musical art, I love listening to the full album straight through
@@pope03 100% agree
I could listen to that man talk about tone and gear for days! Thanks Otis!
👍🏼 Yes Sir,,,that is a Toe tapper. From out of town,,gonna let my hair down🎸✌🏼 Marty and those Glam Suits,always reminded me of Porter Wagner. No Complaints🎸
Kenny is amazing! Marty is a great performer brilliant singer guitarist and mandolin player!
Met the entire band in Brighton Michigan back in 2018 and they were absolutely phenomenal and nice down to Earth gentlemen, hope you still have the Case knife I gave you Marty, thanks again for the great show, Dan
