Though he's never had a substantial hit, Marty Brown won a devoted following among hardcore country fans thanks to his twangy, classic-style honky tonk and a nasal delivery straight from the hills of Kentucky. Specifically, Brown was raised in the small tobacco-farming town of Maceo, and started playing the local honky tonks at age 14. He later recorded a demo tape and hitchhiked to Nashville, where he was profiled on the news magazine 48 Hours and secured a contract with MCA. His debut album, High and Dry, was released in 1991 and won fierce praise for its raw energy, wide musical range, and unrepentant hillbilly attitude. Afraid of being pigeonholed because of the latter, Brown moved into a more commercial sound for the 1993 follow-up, Wild Kentucky Skies; More...

A Throwback to 'Real Country' | Reviewer: David Bell ------ About artist/band Marty Brown Marty Brown is one of those artists who refuse to follow trends, from anything I've heard by him. His first album, "High & Dry" is a kind of a paen to old-time 'Real Country.' On much of it he sounds an awful lot like Hank Williams.-That's Hank Williams, Sr., folks. Who by the way was probably the first rebel of popular music..of country music anyway. But, I digress. Some of the ballads sound like the Everly Brothers, too. But it's more than just sounding like American legends. Beyond that, Marty Brown has something else that is real and undeniable; A genuineness. A warmth. A truth in just being himself. I've never seen him live, but I did see an interview on TNN with him once and he spoke the same way he sings; plainly and directly. Just a good old country boy from Kentucky who wanted to make a living at playing music, anyway he could. Hell, the man hitch-hiked to Nashville with little more than a guitar and the clothes he had on. To me he represents everything that was good about the artists from the past. They made music for the sheer love of the music. Their numbers seem to be dwindling very rapidly; Brown, Radney Foster, Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, & Webb Wilder are some others that immediately come to mind. It's a shame that Nashville (for sometime now) has followed the rest of the music/entertainment industry. If they don't see a huge profit, then the bigwigs at these corporate conglomerates (the record labels & their parent companys)have no use for it. They have no use for real country music. But if you like the sound of the 'classics,' be it country or rock, then do yourself a favor and check out the music of Marty Brown.
