Marty Robbins Singing Shackles And Chains

[curious7500]

Actually a JImmie Davis song. Covered by many including Mac Wiseman, Stanley Brothers Riley Crabtree and others. Marty's version is the best. I have never heard this recording. A version of this song appeared on Marty's self titled album from 1958. This is howerver a different recording which sounds like it was recorded at around the same era (mid to late fifties). The rythm is different. Was this recording ever released commercially?

I was privalaged to meet Marty in Aberdeen in the 70's and it was one of the best times of my life . I was speechless and believe me that doesn't happen often lol to see him live was something else so thank you for remembering this great man.

I met Marty on more than a couple of occasions and I was somewhat overawed to be in the presence of my hero. I was quite tongue tied, but the experience still rates highly in the highlights of my life anna. Even though I have been a fan for several decades, I'm still amazed by not only his wonderful voice and vocal ability, but his wonderful songwriting gift he possessed as well as his sheer charisma.

I'm glad you discovered Marty stebbi1971. I can't see any similarity with Jim Reeves though. Not that I am not a fan of Jim's as well. They were probably the two greatest vocalists ever in Country music in my opinion.

They were contemporaries of each other, but sadly were not friends.

I don't know about being friends-they didn't show it on any of their appearances together

[stebbi1971]

Ive just discovered Marty, I´m glad I did. Great voice. Reminds me of Jim Reeves.
