Marty Stuart is releasing a new digital album, "Songs I Sing in the Dark," one track at a time. The project is a collection of 20 acoustically recorded songs that each have a special meaning to Stuart. To share the stories behind the songs with fans, Stuart plans to feature one song from the album each month alongside a personal statement about the connection he shares with the tune as well as its relevance to the Country genre. Stuart released the first song and announced the project with a video introduction today (3/24). Watch here.
"I have a long line of songs that range from obscure originals to old favorites from various musical worlds that I often sing to myself when I’m alone," said Stuart. "Until recently, I had never formally made a list of all the titles. When I did, I saw in those titles so many great songs that need to be remembered and passed down ... Looking into those songs I could hear the music of those brilliant musicians, arrangers, and singers who brought those tunes to life, and gave the world reason to love them."
