Steel Guitarist Bill Johnson was actually buried today in Alabama. He wrote one of the great classic country ballads 'A Wound Time Can;t Erase' which Marty mystifyingly never cut.

On piano is Bill Pursell.

@tarquin45 Damn, that sucks to hear about this. I love that song especially the way Loretta Lynn did it on the Wilburn Bros. show.

@tarquin45 This was my first lp of Marty's and easily my favorite. Any chance you can upload some more selections from it?

@tarquin45 Tarquin, as you know I'm a steel picker too and I knew Bill, not well but I knew him. I think the reason Marty never recorded that song was that it had already been recorded by so, so many other artists. I do think he did it on some of his live shows and would introduce Bill as the writer. I overheard Marty one time talking back stage at the Opry about another song he didn't record saying that it had been over recorded already; I can't remember the song though.

1 second ago I heard a song sung by Marty some years ago and have never been able to find it..or have ever heard it again. All I can remember was it was something about an eagle flying and it made me cry......Anyone have any ideas? I have searched every album i came across.
