Mack's version spent a week at the top spot and all in all enjoyed twenty-two weeks on the chart. It would also be recorded a year later by country legend George Jones. 'Bridge Washed Out' was originally written and recorded by Warner Mack in 1965. He told her to take a pen and paper and write down as he dictated to her: 'Our home is like a prison, where we're both serving time/I'm a stranger in your world now, and it's driving me out of my mind./Drifting apart, drifting apart, darling, we're drifting apart./Out of reach, out of heart, we're slowly drifting apart.' Stuart later joked in an interview that he had to reassure his partner that the song was not about her. Stuart got the idea for the song whilst in the car with his wife, Connie Smith. 'Drifting Apart' is a song about two lovers who are, as the title suggests, drifting apart from each other. The song is performed as a duet between Marty Stuart and his lead guitarist, 'Cousin' Kenny Vaughan. Marty heard the song on the radio in his tour bus, and immediately fell in love with the tune, deciding that upon his next visit to the recording studio he would record an electric version with the Superlatives. 'Country Boy Rock & Roll' was originally a bluegrass tune by the group Reno & Smiley. Stuart had the idea to write the song whilst in his dressing room at the Grand Ole Opry, and had to 'keep getting out of the shower' every time a new line came into his head. The song is a reminder of 1970's country rock. He claims he is 'guilty of the crime of tryin' to get back home.' The song is, in sorts, a tribute to Merle Haggard who had a hit single on the country charts with the song ' Branded Man' in 1967.

'Branded' is a song about a man who is constantly on the run he has been jailed for vagrancy (amongst other crimes). The album has a neo-traditionalist approach to country music, an indication from Stuart that he and his Superlatives intend to carry on with their more serious approach to recording, a direct contrast to Stuart's earlier days of performing. 1.13 Little Heartbreaker (The Likes Of You).Watch some of the bloopers from Season One of The Marty Stuart Show below.
