Home on the Range was never this good!, 21 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Thanks to a friend who asked "who was it that sang El Paso?" has prompted me to take the opportunity to rediscover, after more than 30 years, a singer who put the 'Western' in Country Music.Anyone who enjoys Country and Western should not be without a copy of this marvellous collection of sounds and images of the American 'wild' west. This is a truly classic collection that gives you a story with every song from an exceptional talent singing with a purity that is rare. His gunfighter ballads are the stuff of dreams that transport the listener to the Old West with 'El Paso', 'Big Iron' and 'Cool Water' to name but a few in a selection brimming with great songs. If you like Country and Western then take "mah advice pardna" and do what a man's gotta do! This is truly great value and is well worth a purchase that will bring you hours of pleasure. I strongly recommend it! Buy it and like me you will not be disappointed. Postscript:
If like me, you would like to add other albums to your collection, then you cannot go wrong by choosing compilations such as "The Drifter" which include, amongst others, the amusing "Cowboy in a Continental Suit" and a saloon showdown in the superb "Mr Shorty". Marty's voice suited most kinds of music and in "The Essential Marty Robbins" with its Rock-A-Billy, Hawaiian and even Jazz-influenced music, will prove beyond doubt the versatility that make Mr Robbins' music unforgettable and timeless.
