MARTY ROBBINS WHAT GOD HAS DONE This is the only one of gospel music I've ever found. I have almost every record and CD of Marty Robbins Music. Good choices in songs. A must for every Marty Robbins fan. As his music catalog available to his fans is shrinking. Would liked to have seen some kind of liner notes saying who wrote songs, date recorded etc.
What God has done,Marty Robbins
It will appeal to all ages. What God Has Done is another of the great Marty Robbins hit. Great music.
I would like accompiment music to this album of songs
I tried to get vocals removed but since it was not recorded in stereo it didn't work. Wonderful renditions of "An Evening Prayer", "Almost Persuaded", and "Great Speckled Bird", and wish I could obtain the accompiment music to be used in Church. Anyone have a way of doing this?.
Better than Elvis Presley
Once it has been recorded/sang by Marty - it's his. Marty Robbins fans will not want to miss out on this one. Anyone else that comes along - it just doesn't sound right. For those who purchase this, you will not be disappointed.
Much better than average country gospel.
The older numbers work the best, probably because they ARE the best. This collection of old and new gospel songs (two of them penned by Marty Robbins) is quite representative of early-1960s country gospel, if less plastic than Elvis Presley's more famous pop-gospel efforts and unusually well-produced. These include the Charles H. Gabriel classics "An Evening Prayer" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" (from 1913 and 1907, respectively), Lewis E. Jones' rollicking 1899 "Power in the Blood," and Philip Paul Bliss' elegant cautionary revival ballad "Almost Persuaded. " The newer material pales in comparison, with the exception of the rocking "You Gotta Climb" and Robbins' own "A Little Spot In Heaven," a competent bit of tune-writing whose cliched lyrics hang together more literately than what passes for same in modern praise music. Robbin's other number, "With His Hand On My Shoulder," is a forgettable exercise in nautical spiritual-journey cliches and melodic repetitiousness, and Eddy Arnold's "Who At My Door Is Standing" is similarly mundane, however sincere. Still, this is a most enjoyable collection for the wonderful singing of Marty Robbins, the pristine production standards and super-slick studio musicianship, and the evenly balanced mixture of old and new. And the composer credits are better than usual, with the only gaffes being the crediting of "Have Thine Own Way, Lord" to "Traditional" (George C. Stebbins wrote the music, and Adelaide A. Pollard the words), and the use of the Carter Family lyrics for "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" vice Ada Habershon's. Worth getting.
