The Unseen Hand

Marty Stuart is a walking encyclopedia of country music. He can quote song lyrics, name singers, dates, awards, you name it. Not only that, he has a HUGE collection of country music memorabilia, such as suits, guitars, and such from stars that even the artists themselves have forgotten about. On top of that, he is also an avid gospel music fan, having taken part in two different Gaither tapings.

Below is a clip of Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives singing at the famous Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree. Three singers harmonizing around one mic while an electric guitar accents the performance. Why does this seem so much more "alive" than anything gospel has to offer today??
