Country music star Marty Stuart is at the Capitol today speaking out in support of legislation that would create a country music trail in Mississippi.
“It’s country music’s time,” Stuart said. “The world is waiting to come see us in Mississippi.”
Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant touted the accomplishments of Stuart, a Philadelphia native, and other Mississippians who have become famous in country music.

Bryant said Stuart would be Mississippi’s “country music ambassador.”
