5.0 out of 5 stars A very strong 90s country album, July 28, 2001

By 

Dino (Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tempted (Audio CD)

I bought this album on cassette in 1991 - the first country album I'd bought (I now have over 200). I had listened to Elvis for several years and had become familiar with others through that - Johnny Cash being one. Browsing through a local record store, knowing a little about some country songs, I recognised the Cash song title Blue Train on Marty Stuart's Tempted album. I bought it out of curiosity and was very glad I did. All ten songs are strong and have more lasting appeal than many country albums that I've bought since by almost all the Nashville male country stars. Too many modern country CDs have, on average, around two good songs with the others just filler. This album entertains throughout. Highlights include the modern take on the country standard I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome, the rollicking Paint The Town Tonight and the album's closer, Get Back To The Country. This is one of the few mainstream Nashville releases that would stand up against the best of the current country independent label releases (see Rodney Crowell and Dale Watson's latest releases). Tempted, while contemporary, contains a respectful nod to country music's past, befitting of the artist who is a recognised country music historian.

5.0 out of 5 stars Six of the ten tracks are awsome!!!, May 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Tempted (Audio CD)

This album has I think 4 songs that were Top 40 singles when they were released and a couple of others that should have been.

Worth the bucks in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hillbilly Rock, January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tempted (Audio CD)

This is pure Marty Stuart. This record has a lot of energy and hillbilly rocking. Tempted is Marty's signature song. It reminds you of Marty's Johnny Cash connection. All the songs are strong and entertaining. This record is KICKN'. Marty knew what sound he wanted and each and every song gives you some great country sounds.
