Nate Gibson literally wrote the book on Starday Records, country music's largest independent record label in the 1950s and ‘60s (The Starday Story: The House That Country Music Built), and has since been keeping that golden era of country music alive as host of WORT's Back to the Country program and in his live performances. His recordings have been released on Bear Family Records (Germany), Swelltune Records, Goofin’ Records (Finland), and Cow Island Music and his latest release, Nate Gibson & the Stars of Starday, features him duetting with 14 Starday legends while accompanied by Country Music Hall of Famer Marty Stuart and members of his Fabulous Superlatives band. The album was selected by Country Music People critics as a “Top 10 Record Release of 2019.”
