Marty was born in
Mississippi in 1958 and learned to play guitar as a child. He joined a bluegrass band, quite young…in
the 1970s when still a teenager, he worked with the musician Lester Flatt, and
then when Flatt retired, he began to work with Johnny Cash’s band. In the early 80s he married Cindy, one of
Cash’s daughters… They divorced some
years later but he remained friendly with Johnny….and they continued to work together. He cites Johnny as one of his big musical
influences. He is more of a musician
than a singer or song writer...
