Busy Bee Cafe is the second solo album of American
country singer
Marty Stuart. Unlike his debut solo album, this project contains original material by Stuart, including the title track, 'Boogie For Clarence' and 'Long Train Gone'.
The album also pays tribute to the people with whom Stuart honed his craft as a musician; with songs written by
Lester Flatt,
Earl Scruggs,
Bill Monroe, and
Johnny Cash (Cash appears as a guest performer on 'One More Ride', 'Hey Porter' and 'Get In Line, Brother'), as well as Stuart's own 'Boogie For Clarence', which was written for country guitar icon
Clarence White. Stuart would later record another tribute to White on his 2010 album
Ghost Train: The Studio B Sessions with the instrumental track 'Hummingbyrd', which was recorded with White's
Fender Telecaster which he purchased from Clarence's daughter. Michelle
Jason Ankeny of
Allmusic praised the album as "a loose, jam-oriented record".[1]
