John Martin "Marty" Stuart (born September 30, 1958) is an American country music singer-songwriter, known for both his traditional style, and eclectic merging of rockabilly, honky tonk, and traditional country music. In the early 1990s, he had a successful string of country hits.
Born in Philadelphia, Mississippi, Stuart is of French, English, Choctaw, and Colombian descent.
From an early age, he was obsessed with country music and taught himself how to play the guitar and mandolin. At the age of 12, Stuart started performing with the bluegrass group The Sullivan Family. He later met Lester Flatt bandmember Roland White. White invited Stuart to play with him and the Nashville Grass at the Labor Day gig in Delaware in 1972. After this, White asked him to join the band permanently and Stuart accepted. This made White responsible for the rest of Stuart's education. Fourteen-year-old Stuart appeared with the band on the final episode of the fifth season of Hee Haw. Marty stayed with Lester Flatt until Flatt broke up the band in 1978 due to his failing health.
Marty Stuart is an eponymous album, and the third solo studio album by country singer Marty Stuart, released in 1986 on Columbia, his only album with that label. He recorded a second album for Columbia titled Let There Be Country, which was not released until 1992.
The album features 9 songs, four of which were co-written by Stuart. The single "Arlene" made number 19 on Hot Country Songs in 1985. "Honky Tonker", "All Because of You", and "Do You Really Want My Lovin'" were also released.
"Far Away" is a song composed by Leonid Shirin and Yury Vaschuk and performed by the band 3+2, and was to represent Belarus at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, having been chosen internally by Belarusian broadcaster BTRC. The song had previously taken part in the ONT contest "Musical Court", which was planned to be used to select the Belarusian entry for the Contest before ONT's application to join the European Broadcasting Union, the contest's organisers, was rejected.
On 19 March 2010, it was announced that 3+2 had changed their song for the contest, and will now perform the song "Butterflies" at the contest, written by Maxim Fadeev and Malka Chaplin.
12 Stones is an American Christianpost-grunge band that was formed in 2000 in Mandeville, Louisiana. The band currently consists of Paul McCoy, Eric Weaver, David Troia and Sean Dunaway. They have sold more than 2 million records.
The four band members met in Mandeville, Louisiana, a small suburb north of New Orleans, and within 15 months were signed to a record deal with Wind-up Records. Lead vocalist Paul McCoy was previously featured in the Evanescence single "Bring Me to Life", which later went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2004.
Songs from the band have appeared in various films and TV shows. "My Life", from their self-titled album, was featured on the soundtrack of the 2002 film The Scorpion King. "Broken" (also from the self-titled album) served as the official theme song for WWE's WWE Judgment Day pay-per-view in May 2002. "Home" (also from the self-titled album) was the song used for the WWE Desire video for Kurt Angle. "Shadows", from Potter's Field, was used in a trailer for the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. "Photograph" (also from Potter's Field) appeared on the soundtrack of the 2005 film Elektra. The band also recorded the song "Let Go" exclusively for the Daredevil movie soundtrack. Songs "Running out of Pain" and "Back Up" were used on Cheating Death, Stealing Life - The Eddie Guerrero Story.
Riff Raff is a 1984 album by Welsh rock musician Dave Edmunds. The album was his third release for Arista Records (in the UK) and Columbia Records (in the US), following 1983's Information.
Riff Raff continued Edmunds' collaboration with Electric Light Orchestra frontman Jeff Lynne; Lynne produced six tracks on the albums, and wrote three of the songs as well. However, compared to the pair's success with Information (which hit #51 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned a top-40 single in "Slipping Away"), Riff Raff was a commercial flop. The album made it to only #140, and the single "Something About You" failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100 at all (although it did hit #18 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart).
Riff Raff was the last time Edmunds and Lynne would collaborate on record; meanwhile, Edmunds wouldn't make another studio album for six years (although he would release a live album in the interim).
The majority of the tracks on Riff Raff are originals by Lynne, Edmunds, and bandmember John David. The most notable cover is the aforementioned "Something About You", originally a top-20 hit for the Four Tops in 1965.
Far or FAR may refer to:
Far` is a village in Al Madinah Province, in western Saudi Arabia.
There's just too much confusion, to get what's really
going on
The truth is lying out there, and it's covered up in
stone
I get a funny feeling that's been rolling 'round in me
I think it's time to tell you that it's time for me to
leave
It's been fun, it has been a gas
But it's goin' nowhere fast
Somebody call my number and get me on the phone
Lately I've been talking to myself, when I had me all
alone
Thinking I should start a fire and burn a bridge back
into town
It must be time to go back home
'Cause I miss having me around
It's almost real, it could've been a blast
But it's goin' nowhere fast
I'm on a roll so I'll keep rolling
Gaining ground on my control
While I need someone to lean on, a tender hand to hold
As I scramble cross the beckon call of my own heart's
command
I'll fade and disappear into a sea of sinking sand
Like a dark horse running from the past
I'm goin' nowhere fast
I'm a dark horse running through the past
