Stuart, Tuttle tour together in '26
Stuart and His Fabulous Superlative's instrumental album, "Space Junk," previously only available as a Record Store Day vinyl exclusive, is available as of today a CD, on vinyl and digitally.
Stuart and band today also released the music video for "California Pt 1 (Bobby Gentry, Please Call Home)" off "Space Junk," their first-ever full-length double LP of 20 original instrumentals.
"Instrumentals have always been a part of the Fabulous Superlatives repertoire, but this is the first completely instrumental album we've done, largely inspired by two of my favorite bands from '60's, The Ventures and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass," Stuart said. "They did some dangerously cool instrumental records. We've done bluegrass, gospel, and country records. Our hearts just led us to this one. Space Junk turned us back into kids with our first guitars. We thought the world needed a fresh instrumental album by a pretty good band, so we composed 20 instrumentals and took them to the microphones."

Feb. 6 – Augusta, GA - William B. Bell Auditorium

CD reviews
An uplifting and powerful creation, with "So Long Little Miss Sunshine," Molly Tuttle confidently steps away from bluegrass to establish herself as a modern country-pop artist replete with acoustic flair.
As evidenced by this collection of 11 originals and a breezy, charged cover of Icona Pop and Charli XCX's "I Love It," Tuttle faces her future with calm assurance.
From the eerie, timely overtones of the opening "Everything Burns" through the honest realism of ...
Subtitled "20 Superlative Instrumentals," depending on how one tallies, "Space Junk" is Marty Stuart's 20th studio album in a recording career stretching back to the late '70s when he was Johnny Cash's son-in-law.
The always well-coifed bandleader has experienced more in his career than most could hope to achieve despite not having experienced a significant chart hit in more than 30 years. A consistent draw on the road, Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives ...
Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives opens with an instrumental, "Lost Byrd Space Train (Scene 1)," which is a nicely twisted way to phrase the musical roads Stuart travels. Stuart's music incorporates a whole lot of good stuff from traditional country to bluegrass to jangly, Byrds-y rock – and so much more. All of these sounds, and many others, inspired the 14 songs filling out this strong effort.
Stuart gets to the jangling part right away, with a contemplative, Roger ...
