Marty and His Fabulous Superlatives performed "Badlands." 
Marty said, "Thank ya, Cous. Thank you very much. 'Fire On The Mountain, Run Boys Run'. Ha. Anybody that's ever followed this show, you all know that I love the Carter Family music. The Carter Family is the First Family of country music and a great family of founders of American music. Generation after generation of Carters keep comin'. Now, after Mother Maybell, A.P. and Aunt Sara, there was June, Helen and Anita. And, Anita's daughter is named Lorrie Bennett. And I love Lorrie Bennet. Lost track of her for a while. And I've asked Lorrie Bennett to come and be a part of our show.today. She's gonna be a part of several of our shows in the future. I'd like for you to say hello to my friend and former cousin, cousin-in-law, maybe. How 'bout a hand for Miss Lorrie Bennett. Come here Lorrie-belle. Hey, Lorrie. Get over here. I'll get outta your way." Lorrie said, "Thank you." Marty said, "Welcome. We're glad to have you here." Lorrie said, "Glad to be here." Marty said, "Your mama, Anita was a precious lady." Lorrie said, "I thought so." Marty said, "And I tell ya what ...... the song 'Ring Of Fire'." Lorrie said, "Hmm hmm." Marty said, "And everybody in this world knows. What they might not know is that your mama had that song first after June and Merle Kilgore wrote it. Right?" Lorrie said, "Absolutely. She did." Marty said, "And, uh, her version somehow has kinda got put off to the side because of the other .... John's hit was so big. But not long ago, I rediscovered Anita's version, and I rediscovered that there's only one person in this world that can sing it like her mama. Would you please sing the original version of the 'Ring Of Fire' for us." Lorrie said, "I will try." Marty said, "Miss Lorrie Bennett, ladies and gentlemen." Lorrie said, "Thank you." 
Lorrie said, "Thank you." Marty said, "You did good. Thank you, Lorrie." Eddie promoted Marty's book of photographs, Country Music: The Masters. After a commercial break, Marty and Connie were on stage and Marty said, "Welcome back, everybody. Hey Constance. Didn't Lorrie Bennett do a great job? How 'bout a hand for Miss Lorrie." "Connie said, "Great job. She sure did." Marty said, taking Connie's hand, "Well, here we go again. As always, I'm proud to tell ya about the sponsor of The Marty Stuart Show, which is the great people in my home state, Mississippi. Now I don't know about you, but when I travel to a town, I love learnin' about its history. Nowhere better to do that than at a local museum. I encourage you to visit my hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi. And when you do, there's a stop you might want to make, and that's the Neshoba County Museum. Constance, it's a laid-back place with some mighty friendly folks that'll make ya feel welcome while you enjoy lookin' at some of Philadelphia, Mississippi's treasures. And they happen to have an exhibit there entitled 'Mississippi Boy', And you can see my first guitar and you really ought to see my report cards then you'll understand why I had to turn to a guitar. You'll also see some photos and treasures from a night a pretty country singer came to my hometown to sing when I was twelve years old. I fell in love with her and the rest is history as they.say at the Neshoba County Museum in Philadelphia. How 'bout a hand for all my folks in Philadelphia. All right. Oh yeah. Now speakin' of history, here's a great American that knows all about it. Whatcha got with ya, Sultan? How 'bout a hand for Leroy Troy and his buddy." 
Leroy: "All right. Little buddy." 
After a commercial break, Eddie Stubbs promoted the Badlands album, at the Superlatone Store. Eddie said, "And now back to Marty Stuart." Marty said, "Thank you, Eddie Stubbs. Just like I said at the first of this show, I have very special guests joining us tonight from the Badlands. Representing Red Shirt Table on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, please make welcome Marvin Helper. Everett Helper and Noah. Make 'em feel welcome, please. Thank you for comin', Marvin." Marvin said, "Marty." Marty said, "Thank you for comin' so far. It's a long way from Pine Ridge to Nashville." Everett said, "Sure is." Marty said, "Did ya ride a horse or walk or take an automobile?" I couldn't understand what Everett said. Marty said, "Yes, sir. Comin' around that curve fast. Thank you very much. Our Badlands record, you might recognize. This is the cover of our Badlands record behind us. It's on our set every week. Chief American Horse of the Lakota tribe. To commemorate your journey and trip to Nashville, which I appreciate you doing, I wrote a song called 'Ancient Wind'. Could we do it tonight?" Marvin said, "Yes." Marty said, "Everett, if you could get us started, we'll see what happens." The song ended with Noah playing a beautiful flute solo.
