Beschreibung:
Marty Stuart is a country music icon. He is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, photographer, essayist, collector, preservationist and defender of country music's rich traditions. The five-time Grammy award winner and Grand Ole Opry member's most recent project is Marty Stuart's Congress of Country Music, a Philadelphia, Mississippi-based museum, concert venue, and educational and cultural facility that will house his personal collection of over 20,000 country music-related artifacts.
Marty Stuart's tenth studio album, The Pilgrim, was released 1999. The risky and ambitious concept project--based on true events that transpired in his hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi--was a turning point in Marty's unique artistry. While not a commercial success at the time, The Pilgrim represents a rediscovery of his roots and a creative rebirth that continues to reverberate today as we celebrate the album's twentieth anniversary.
