Marty Robbins Pride And The Badge

Marty Robbins was an incredible artist. An artist who could paint pictures of his beloved west where he came from and which he loved so much. Without Marty Robbins western music might have all but been forgotten; he breathed new life into it in 1959 when he recorded his masterpiece album 'Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs' which has stood the test of time with it's spellbinding and poetical storylines. Whenever anyone around the world thinks of cowboy music Marty is undoubtedly at the top of mosts people's lists and deservedly so for he brought back the sound of a time long gone with the quality of his songwriting and that wonderful voice.
Marty Robbins was not only one of the greatest singers of all time, but for sheer unadulterated talent I can't think of anyone better.

The only version of this song I can find anywhere has some horns and a different tempo.

What album does this recording come from?

@ActorJoeLewis

It's off of a Bear Family Various Artists CD called 'The Man Wh Robbed The Bank At Santa Fe.' If you type in 'Bear Family Records' you should find it plus the complete track listing.

I agree! It is an unusual song, as well. There aren't that many songs that address such topics. I think Marty could sing nearly any song well. He always sang with great feeling.

one of the best songs and i thank you for it.

@salemrealtor Yeah "Ballad of A Little Man" is probably the best song on that album and one of my favorites.

@wildoutrudeboy I know what you mean, every time I listen to one of his songs it's like going back in time cause he's such a great story teller.

I've been listening Marty Robin while living in Jamaica as a young kid. Personally no other artist can cover the pictures of the wild west than Marty Robins. Not even Willie Nelson. Just Close your eyes and your in a Western Movie when he is singing. Big Tune. Thx

great singer great song great man

[salemrealtor]

This song is a faster version on "All Around Cowboy" by Marty Robbins - released in 1979 according to Wikipedia. One of my favorites, although "Ballad of A Little Man" is my all-time favorite from the same album. :-) Hope this helps.

I had never heard this version before. The one I new was a later version.

thumbs up if you feel that you have had the same pride in the same badge that you wore upon your vest at one time or another.

I grew up listening to Marty Robbins....i remember my brother and two sisters would act out this song..My brother was Marty, my younger sister was Dakota Jack, my twin was the killer kid that left me as Red..(im a red head so that was a no brainer choice made by my brother)..we had hours of fun listening to this song over and over while acting out the stages...we had a ball!!

Tarquin, i want to tell you,that it is because of your postings, and film clips of Marty, that

i really was able to 'discover' him. I have had a few of his cd's for years, but never knew what he was 'really' like. the photos of Marty on the cd covers were not good at all. Then when i found your film clips, I learned what kind of man he really was. To see him laughing as he sings, joking & talking, was a real treat!!! THANK YOU TARQUIN !!
