@maxnewid - I have "Rare Earth Live" on CD from many years ago. Last year I went on a hunt for a nice copy of the Vinyl in the classic "Backpack" cover. Found a really good copy at a really reasonable price. I love it! Also, their studio records - "Ecology" and "Get Ready" are outstanding. I'm a big fan.....
I can't keep up with Marty Stuart's releases, and I try. His Fabulous Superlatives are SUCH a great band. Guitarist Kenny Vaughan was in Lucinda Williams' band in the early 2000's and has a fine solo album, and Harry Stinson is not only an excellent drummer, but a songwriter, singer and producer as well. Love 'em! Way Out West, at the top of my Buy list.

+1 on the Marty Stuart
