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.
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.

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?
