What happened to Gary Carter and Marty Stuart show

After some googling as far as I can tell there hasn't been a new episode since Season 7 ended around March 2014 so at this point it's going on three years since the last new one aired.

I checked out Marty's website and his Facebook page to see if I could glean any information regarding future tapings of the show but I came up empty.

I believe it's a riddle, inside a mystery, wrapped in an enigma...

I really enjoy Marty's shows too, even if they are reruns but as someone said above, I can never hear the steel guitar, especially on fills. Don't know why these damn sound guys have lead guitar so loud and never have steel in mix loud enough.

uhh...my guess is it's because the vast majority of them didn't grow up around country music.

Their mantra seems to be "Lead guitar and drums are cool, and steel is whiny".

I thought I read somewhere (on SGF maybe) that Marty got tired of the show and wanted to focus on other things. Keep in mind, it's sometimes hard to keep it fresh after a while and might become boring or tiring. Creative people also sometimes just want to move on to something else. Just my thoughts...

And as I understand, it is pretty expensive to get the shows aired on RFD. Profit depends on how much sponsorship you get and how much merchandise you sell. So, how many of Marty's CD's did you buy while enjoying the show?

Know what you mean Donnie. At a casino which had Gene Watson show one night, all you could hear was kick drum and bass. I straightened that dude out. Thought we were going to come to blows before we did but he finally came around to my thinking. Well, me and the other two big steel players that were with me, ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚

A couple of years ago, someone posted that Marty had decided to postpone doing the show in order to spend time with his ailing Dad.
