Includes liner notes by Marty Stuart.
"Mr. John Henry, Steel Driving Man" and "The Greatest Love Of All" were nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance.
While the "concept" album has always been a staple of rock music, it's rarely been a factor in country--until now. With THE PILGRIM, writer/singer/producer guitarist Marty Stuart has crafted an honest-to-goodness country opera complete with a cast of country legends portraying the various roles. THE PILGRIM is based, Stuart says, on a true story of a love triangle replete with marital infidelity, searching and redemption. Stuart himself plays the role of the lover, the "pilgrim" of the title, as well as a few other characters.
Along for the journey are Emmylou Harris, George Jones and Pam Tillis. Several tracks stand out, including the twangin' "Sometimes the Pleasure's Worth the Pain" and the beautiful "The Greatest Love Of All Time." Stuart links the songs with instrumental passages, various reprises of the title track, and even a poetry reading featuring the unmistakable voice of his old boss, Johnny Cash. While THE PILGRIM is no one's idea of a commercial country album, one has to admire the sheer ambition of the project, as well as the guts it took MCA records to release what amounts to a unique and deeply personal artistic vision.

Editorial Reviews
...What saves the project is Stuart's smart, dramatic use of such guest narrators as Emmylou Harris, George Jones, Ralph Stanley, Pam Tillis, and Johnny Cash. And Lord yes, the picking... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (06/18/1999)

...has the unmistakable feeling of someone showing their cards....A wonderful record that shows the hard work and love...that Stuart put into this country epic.

    Well i love marty stuart Im a big fan of his music but I had lost the pilgrim as I had purchased it before then lost it cause my car was totalled in an accident so my cds got scattered or they were in the trunk that was jammed and locked so I went back onto ebay and I needed another cd from Marty stuart cause Im getting married in Dec and I needed one of the songs from the other cd. When I looked for marty Stuart cds this seller had 5 of them for 9.99 and the the song I wanted he had on one of the cds. But I love the pilgrim and I love marty stuarts songs. Im still trying to find hard to find songs that I hope he published it was from a soundtrack movie called caught in the act but I dont know the name of the song he does on that. I wanted to get all my cds I had lost from the accident and I found it.and then some I love ebay u can find things when u cant find it anywhere else.

    VERY GOOD THROWBACK TO THE OLD DAYS COUNTRY MUSIC, IT ONLY SOLD LIKE 30,000 COPIES, TO THOSE WHO DIDN'T BUY IT YOU ARE MISSING OUT, CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT IT. MY FAVORITE SONG HAS TO BE RED RED WINE, AND OR THE DAILY OBSERVATIONS OF A CROW, WITH SPECIAL GUESTS LIKE GEORGE JONES AND CONNIE SMITH YOU REALLY CAN'T GO WRONG. IF YOU LIKE NEW COUNTRY THEN THIS ONE ISN'T FOR YOU, BUT IF YOU ARE A COUNTRY MUSIC AFFICIANDO THEN GET IT.
