Marty Robbins Singing 'Just Before The Battle Mother.'

This track came from the same session that Marty recorded along with 'Beautiful Dreamer' and 'Long Long Ago.' Whether he had it mind to record an album of 19th century songs I guess we'll never know. Judging by the performance of this most beautiful song and the other two, it is a pity that the album never materialized.
A classic Marty Robbins performance when he was at his very greatest.

I'm glad you like what I've posted EPFANNZ. Apart from being gifted with one of the most beautifully soulful voices, he also wrote many, many great songs. He also liked to give people their money's worth when he sang on stage. Marty was truly one of God's gifted.

Tarquin,if not for the undying dedication to Marty Robbins that you show, i for one, would never have heard most of his songs, i have loved Marty since i heard him for the very first time, but in our neck of the woods,his music is hard to come by, thanks for the time and effort that you put in ,i`m sure you bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. Thank You...and youtube.

To me, Marty was the greatest singer/songwriter that ever lived. Not only did he have such a beautiful voice, but his catalogue of such varied and great compositions are a joy to listen to.

Thanks ageing trucker for your kind words.

I still think he was the greatest. He could sing anything and it was great

[tarquin45]

Totally agree Bill. Not only could he sing any kind of song, but he could also write them as well.

A unique talent.

Oh how I love this; my father would sing this to me when I was little, and we'd both end up crying --and then I'd say, "Sing it again, Daddy," and....he would.

The man with the golden voice!

There is NOT a bad song on this whole cd...and I'm surprised mine isn't worn out...I play it over and over....I have never heard anyone sing so beautifully than he does. I've been listening to him since 1955 when I was nine, heard that 'voice on the radio and fell in love with it. Been a fan ever since. There will never be anyone with a voice to match his beautiful voice.
