Unfortunately I don't know the name of the piece of Mexican music that Marty is playing, but perhaps someone out there can put a name to the tune.

  • It is definitely NOT South Of The Border.

  • what is dobro? roy acuff was one of the best also. is your video on youtube?

  • A dobro is a sort of hybrid betwen steel guitar and guitar which has a very distinctive sound. I do not have the video on youtube because of the poor quality of the video tape. I have most of his 'Spotlight' shows which he made in the mid 70's, but unfortunately they are not of the best quality. It's a pity that they have never been put out on DVD.

  • no one will ever sing or play like this man. he is tops. my favorite singer of all time. thanks for sharing.

  • I have a clip of Marty playing dobro accompanying Roy Acuff on 'Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.' Marty seemed to be able to turn his hand to just anything; he was just a once in a lifetime singer/songwriter/instrumental­ist and entertainer. There'll never be anyone as good as him for sheer all round talent.

  • It certainly is reminiscent of La Borrichita. I agree with you about the release of CD's and DVD's as well. Sony in particular have served Marty Robbins fans very poorly and if it wasn't for Bear Family a whole lot of his recordings would have gathered dust and never seen the light of day. Then again, does anyone buy records anymore when at the click of a mouse they can download stuff legally or illegally?

  • Anyone know what brand/model of guitar Marty is playing here?

  • the movie "the drifter" if you can find it, probably has the name of this song in the credits

  • fantastic!!

  • I have been a fan of Marty since *White Sportscoat and Singing the Blue.

    Even when he tried RnR with Long Tall Sally.

    But its was the Gunfighter that really shot him to fame.

    What A legend in every sense of the word,The word Legend is misused today but he deserved it.
