Way Out West is a love letter to that.”Īs such, the album could only be recorded there, and Stuart, with his longtime backing band the Fabulous Superlatives, decamped for California. “Everything that came out of California captivated my kid mind in Mississippi,” he says. Growing up in Philadelphia, Mississippi, Stuart was taken by the mystique of the Golden State: the culture, the movies and especially the music. Specifically the promised land of California. “It is that spirit world of the West that enchants me.” “If you go and sit by yourself in the middle of the Mojave Desert at sundown and you’re still the same person the next morning when the sun comes up, I’d be greatly surprised,” says Stuart. Opening with a Native American prayer, a nod to Stuart’s affinity for the indigenous people, particularly the Lakota, Way Out West transports the listener to the lonely but magical American West. Produced by Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), the album is a cinematic tour-de-force, an exhilarating musical journey through the California desert that solidifies Stuart as a truly visionary artist.

He went from a mandolin solo on THE classic train song “Orange Blossom Special,” best known for the Johnny Cash version, to a kick-ass rendition of the 1966 Count Five rave-up “Psychotic Reaction.”įrom a Ventures-like instrumental with a dash of twang to the “Albany debut” of “Sitting Alone” that features a melody line straight out of the Beatles’ “Day Tripper.Celebrate Independence Day with us!
