He went from accompanying Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash to launching a storied solo career highlighted by classic albums such as the Gold-certified “Hillbilly Rock” and Platinum-certified “This One’s Gonna Hurt You” as well as GRAMMY® Award-winning anthems, including “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” (with Travis Tritt) and “Same Old Train.” Joined by his longtime band The Fabulous Superlatives, he cruises into another stratosphere with his first-ever full-length double LP of original instrumentals, “Space Junk”. The inimitable interplay between Stuart, Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson and Chris Scruggs fuels this cosmic cowboy trip with sun kissed surf guitar, breezy California rhythms, soul stirring steel and fluid fretwork all-around. “Space Junk” sounds like country music’s preeminent band crash landing on a Malibu beach and performing the most epic jam you’ve ever witnessed by starlight…
