Gun Fighter Ballads & Trail Songs and More Gun Fighter Ballads & Trail Songs
From El Paso to San Angelo, true Texas traditional story telling at its best! A must for all Marty Robbins fans!. Probably some of the best known of Marty Robbins' works, this is a great album combining his two best known western albums.


Marty Robbins,The Voice of the West
The first gunfighter album was actually recorded in one day and Marty had the help of the tight, haunting, harmonies from the Glaser brothers in which added the western touch and sound to this "old west" album. As you're listening to Marty Robbins sing these Gunfighter Ballads, you can't help but think Marty was there at one time in his life, as you hear Marty's self-penned ,El Paso,and the glorious, Masters Call, and the movie script song you've seen on many of westerns, there's always the man with the, Big Iron, on his hip. This German import continues with the second installment of the gunfighter ballads for which has always been out of print until now, the songs on here are not as strong as the first, yet, still are just as listenable, as you hear ,Five Brothers,or, San Angelo, in which continues the Fleena-El Paso saga, and Marty gives us his version of,Streets Of Laredo,-a great double album compilation from the great,true voice of the west,Marty Robbins.


Great Cowboy Ballads
As good today as it was when first released 40+ years ago. Marty Robbins covers a range of timeless classics. Hard to beat Big Iron, The Master's Call, Strawberry Roan. .


Marty Robins
If anyone loves to hear Marty Robins, I'm sure they will enjoy this product. Product is all that I expected.


At las on CD!
I had all 3 albums that make up most of this CD. . in the late 1950's /early 1960's. Marty was in great voice; the arrangments are superb. . . and, if you can listen to these bittersweet, haunting ballads without having your heartstrings plucked. . . and, eyes misting up. . you are stone dead. These are about another time and another place. . . and,one where Life was often harsh, often all-too-short, but, it was lived full-up, not talked about and analyzed ad nauseum. This time may have not have existed as Marty sings about it, but the strength and purity of the messages are timeless. Oh, yes. . . for the secularists out there: there are some religious aspects in some of the songs. But, having been in Montana and the Dakotas, you can almost feel a Presence there. .
