    On his latest, Marty meshes country with Memphis rockabilly and bluegrass-inspired background vocals throughout the disc.

    These songs sound like old country classics. [Aug 2012, p.96]

    Cue up any of the songs on Nashville and you hear the sound of Stuart's mission being fulfilled.

    Genre formalism is all well and good when there's genuine creativity and exploration behind it, but Tear the Woodpile Down exposes the limitations of Stuart's hardline conservatism.
