About This Item
Includes 4 bonus tracks! This quintessential features Marty Robbins' most celebrated album, originally issued on the Columbia tag InchGunfighter BalladsInch and InchTrail SongsInch (1959). With his cowboy albums, Robbins helped keep western music alive during the late '50s and early '60s, and the warm, affectionate spirit of this music illustrates why. Here you will find such country favorites as InchEl Paso,Inch InchBig IronInch and InchCool Water,Inch as well as classic versions of InchStreets of LaredoInch and Inch Billy the Kid,Inch among other western standards. These songs are about work, love, travel, death, the beauty of the American West, and living life on your own terms (and paying the price for it). Robbins' subjectis mostly the West of myth and movie, which benefits from his ability as a storyteller - most of the tracks may tell tales heard or seen 100 times onscreen, but he makes listeners feel like this is the first time they're hearing them, creating the excitement and anticipation of a poet in the middle of a spellbinding recital. This sensational album has been remastered and packaged in this very special collector's edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period. Album Tracks 1. Big Iron 2. Cool Water 3. Billy the Kid 4. A Hundred and Sixty Acres 5. They're Hanging Me Tonight 6. The Strawberry Roan 7. The Streets of Laredo 8. Five Brothers 9. El Paso 10. In the Valley 11. The Master's Call 12.
