Marty Stuart said of ‘Matches’: “The summer of 1987 was one of the worst times of my life. I was going through a DIVORCE, sleeping on the floor of Cowboy Jack Clement’s studio after recording sessions, rummaging day to day, avoiding mirrors telling the truth about the form I was in, trying to find the place where to become a star of country and western song, while making a record for Columbia called Let There Be Country that I knew doomed from the start.
“The takeaway from this collection of tracks that was absolutely accurate was a Charlie Craig / Keith Stegall song called ‘Matches’. They wrapped their clever words in a drone vibe and dropped the song on the devious side of town. The recording of “Matches” became the highlight of my summer. In the wake of Ferg scoring a classic sound on my telecaster, we experienced a ghost moment.
“I was proud of the ‘Matches’. It’s a song that I still love and that I often perform with the Fabulous Superlatives. And, just like the Superlatives, the song has a world-class cool factor that goes with it wherever it goes. The melody never fails. I consider him an old friend and wanted to bring him with me to take a tour of this Songs I Song in the Dark series â€.
Marty Stuart is releasing ‘Songs I Sing In The Dark, one song at a time with a new song every month. The album will be released in 2022.
