Is Marty Stuart the Nick Minaj of Country Music??

Marty Stuart:  The Nicki Minaj of Country Music

As forgotten about as Pepsi Clear, Sega Dreamcast and Gary Condit.  As left behind as Kirk Cameron, Dale Jr. and the Auburn Tigers in most preseason poles.  Marty Stuart is destined to be the wingman of the leather fringe jacket, living his entire career in the shadow of a mullet that would make Billy Ray Cyrus and John Stamos leave the room in tears and suck starts a shotgun.

Here's a quarter, call someone who actually knows a Marty Stuart song that doesn't include Travis Tritt.  If you said, like many will: "Hey! 'Hillbilly Rock' is a Marty Stuart song," you'd be correct, but it doesn't count.  That'd be like saying Marc Cohn had a career because of "Walking in Memphis".  The phrase "one hit wonder" has been beaten up and down more than Marty Stuart's mullet-fro thing or "frollet", if you will.  To call this Gollum of country must the possession of a hit, would be a huge misspeak.

Marty Stuart has done little more than be the bench warmer to some of Travis Tritt's greatest hits.  He is little more than the Garrett Gilbert of the dough bro and the relief pitcher of the country club.  It seems that backing up Travis Tritt was his destiny.  Much like Nicki Minaj has done little more than finish the last verse of about every song that has came out over the past year or so.  I think I even heard Minaj finish a Jason Aldean song a few days ago.  And, I don't know if anybody can name a Nicki Minaj song either & if you can,  I would ask: "Why?"

I find it very ironic that one of his most well known lyrics is: "They knew my name..."  No, Marty, they don't.  Oddly enough this lyric was one of the only times Travis Tritt finished a sentence for Stuart.

Perhaps the most desperate moment in his career was "The Devil Comes Back To Georgia" song & video.  In this music video, Marty Stuart not only plays mop up for Travis Tritt, he always holds the pooper scooper for greats like Charlie Daniels & Johnny Cash.  Upon watching the video to refresh myself on how pathetic he is in this, you may hear his voice & see his face for a total of 15.2 seconds through the entire ordeal.   And even after all of this, because of the cosmetic surgery, wigs and implants, Nicki Minaj seems more desperate for our attention and love than Marty Stuart.  But, it's a little known fact that Marty Stuart beat his hair to Jesus every morning to be able to meet the minimum height requirements to get on "The Wabash Cannon Ball" roller coaster at Opryland.  I say this surpasses Nicki Minaj in desperation 10 fold!  Just get a funnel cake and move on Marty, it's a Bass Pro Shop now.

On a finishing note, if Marty Stuart is in fact the Nicki Minaj of country music, does this make Travis Tritt Nashville's own Trey Songz?  It makes you think.

"Mullets up! Mullets up!"  "It's Mr. Steal You Quarter!"
