Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs
Date undefinedEvery Marty fan, every country music lover, every folk music fan, and every Americana collector should have this CD. Perfect singing, great song selection, superb accompaniment, and both the long and short versions of "El Paso" are found here. "El Paso" is a story song written by Marty that matches or exceeds the best of Woody Guthrie's ballads. I put it in the class of songs like "Tom Joad" and "East Texas Red." Marty's mix here of originals and traditional songs was a key release of the Folk Revival, and the one that made it OK for country singers to make common cause with the hippies who loved folk songs. Eddy Arnold's album "Thereby Hangs a Tale" also fits this groove, and came along at about the same time, but Marty's album is even better as a whole. "Big Iron" is the leadoff tune, and it too, has shown staying power over 50 years, but "El Paso" is the iconic Marty Robbins creation.

Date undefinedBought a new copy of the classic, Marty Robbins' Gunfighter Ballads. This Columbia recording is of qood quality. Mr. Robbins' music has its usual unique, pleasing quality. All songs are smooth and great on the ears.
