Under Western Skies
It brings back to memory so much the Country I love and miss. I have thoroughly been enjoying this CD Set.


Under Western Skies...The greatest!
I had been searching for a particular ballad "Dusty Winds" by Marty Robins for many months when I found it listed among the dozens of titles on this boxed set. "Under Western Skies", a boxed set, offering dozens of ballads by Marty Robins, was a rare find for me. I am happy I failed to find the ballad as a single title. I have truly enjoyed listening to the endless ballads this boxed set offers. . . many of which I enjoyed as a youngster.
Thanks, Amazon, for offering home shoppers an opportunity to find rare treasures with the click of a mouse.

Marty Robbins, Country with emphasis on WESTERN
Songs about the Old West are fascinating whether they are based on fact or fiction. I like Marty Robbins. Every song is about a challenge which has to be met and Marty Robbins uses his voice, back up singers, words and orchestration to paint the picture. The music is not complex but easily remembered so you can find yourself humming/whistling the tunes from the collection. Great songs to dance to as well.


great collection
This Bear Family 4-disc set seems to be an exhaustive collection of his western ballads including multiple versions of El Paso (long mono and short stereo). It was time to move from a rag-tag set of tattered Robbins' LPs to digital. The re-mastering is excellent. I didn't specially want the handsome box or nice booklet, but those might be important for others.

To complement this set I got the 2-disc The Essential Marty Robbins which includes the other aspect of Robbins' music, like Devil Woman and A White Sport Coat. It also has quite a few of the western ballads, but not enough for me.


You have to buy this!
5 stars are not enough. I was a little put off by the price, but it is worth every penny. The booklet with the lyrics to all of the songs is excellent. You will note a few of the tunes like El Paso and San Angelo appear a couple of times. Different versions were brought out at different times. They're all here!!!! Wish
Devil Woman would have been included though.
