About The Record:

Busy Bee Cafe by Marty Stuart is a loose, jam-oriented acoustic album that showcases his virtuosic string playing and deep reverence for traditional country and bluegrass roots through a mix of covers and original material. It features standout guest appearances from legends including Johnny Cash on three tracks such as the opener One More Ride and Hey Porter, Earl Scruggs adding banjo flair to Down The Road, and contributions from Doc and Merle Watson plus others, creating an all-star collaborative feel. A unique highlight is the instrumental Boogie For Clarence, an original tribute written by Stuart to guitar icon Clarence White, while fan-favorites often include the lively title track Busy Bee Cafe that vividly evokes a classic hole-in-the-wall diner and the rockabilly-tinged closer Long Train Gone. Historically significant as an early solo effort from the then-24-year-old Stuart who had already backed legends like Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash, the project blends fresh energy with homage to influences like Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs.
