Marty Brown

Though he’s never really had a considerable hit, Marty Brown won a devoted following among hardcore country fans because of his twangy, classic-style honky tonk and a nasal delivery straight from the hills of Kentucky. Particularly, Brown grew up in the tiny tobacco-farming city of Maceo, and began playing the neighborhood honky tonks at age group 14. He later on recorded a demonstration tape and hitchhiked to Nashville, where he was profiled on the news headlines publication 48 Hours and guaranteed a agreement with MCA. His debut recording, High and Dry out, premiered in 1991 and received fierce praise because of its natural energy, wide musical range, and unrepentant hillbilly attitude. Scared to be pigeonholed due to the latter, Dark brown moved right into a even more industrial sound for the 1993 follow-up, Crazy Kentucky Skies; though it wasn’t popular, it helped continue steadily to build Brown’s group of fans, as do his tour with Jimmie Dale Gilmore. 1994’s Cryin’, Lovin’, Leavin’ also didn’t bring Dark brown to a wider target audience, despite continuing acclaim, and MCA parted methods with him later on. Brown signed using the impartial label Hightone and debuted to them in 1996 with Here’s towards the Honky Tonks, which once again premiered to favorable evaluations.
