Marty Robbins - The Drifter
Continues with the great western ballads as done so well by Marty! Worth it just for the companion song to El Paso (Faleena) for all the people who want to know her side of the story. A great companion compilation album to go with Trail Songs and Gunfighter Ballads.


More Gunfighter Ballads..
Marty Robbins' tenor-baritone voice is always alive and vital with each listen, and, THE DRIFTER, is a Marty Robbins essential to add to the gunfighter ballad series. Another great gunfighter ballad album from singer-songwriter Marty Robbins, a name that is known quite well as the man with a knowledge of the old west, who sings these great ballads with authority, and never fails to paint a picture in the listeners mind as Marty tells it ,Meet Me Tonight In Laredo,or Marty's smooth delivery on the, The Wind Goes, and reveals the cowboy way of hard life on the range with ,Cry Stampede,and there's the fatal, Cottonwood Tree. .


NOT One of rhe Best
While some of his standard goodies (like "Mr. Nobody liked Marty Robbins and his music more than I and while he was with Columbia Records(twice) his music generally excelled. Shorty") are here, the songs are not his best(although few would argue that he doesn't sing them well). Only the untraveled and unsophisticated who have never heard Marty's OTHER albums (just sticking to the Western ones if you like) would believe this is one of the best. The seldom-seen "Feleena" is included and gives us the middle part of the "El Paso" story but it is cumbersomely written and was not a big hit. Virtually anything by Marty Robbins is worth having but this is NOT his best.


One of the best!
His stories are captivating, and his clear,mellow voice, allow you to hear, understand(and hang on to,) every word. I think I have owned almost every recording,Marty ever made. A real pleasure!.


This is one of the best western ballad albums ever made
If you love western ballads, this is one of the best albums you can find. . . . . . All of the songs were written between 1960 and 1966. . . . . . If you liked "EL PASO". . . . . . you will love this album. The recording techniques and the recording itself seem to exceed any expectations you would have from a recording that was made so many years ago. . . . . . . and I personally think that Marty Robbins was one of the most talented western balladeers there ever was. If you could wear a CD out, I would be worn out this one out by now.
