About Marty Robbins - Marty Robbins - All-Time Greatest Hits

Marty Robbins has more greatest-hits compilations than most artists have hits. This 20-cut single-disc collection is one of the better values, with a representative selection that extends from gunfighter balladry such as "El Paso" (his 1959 chart-topper and biggest crossover success) and "Big Iron" to the calypso-tinged "Devil Woman" to his cover of Gordon Lightfoot's folkish "Ribbon of Darkness." Throughout his 30-year recording career, Robbins combined a tremulous tenor with canny commercial instincts, stretching the boundaries of country music while expanding his popular base. He was equally at home with a cowboy song ("Red River Valley"), a gospel tune ("You Gave Me a Mountain"), and a slice of Hawaiian exotica ("Aloha Oe"). Inexplicably, the album features the schmaltzy "Love Is Blue" at the expense of "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)," a '50s pop smash that remained one of his biggest hits. --Don McLeese Amazon.com

The GREAT Marty Robbins

What can I say..I have been a Marty Robbins fan for many years and as far as I am concerned any song he sang was perfect.
So sorry that he is gone. Miss him always..What a voice! October 15, 2008

Marty Robbins All-Time Greatest Hits Is Good Representation

Purchased a new copy of Marty Robbins' All-Time Greatest Hits on Amazon. The order came in good condition and in a timely fashion. This compilation is a decent representation of Mr. Robbins' significant lifetime body of work. It does not have "White Sport Coat," but has a lot of enjoyable music. A good companion album is his "Gunfighter Ballads" album which has only three songs overlapping with this greatest hits album. The recordings on this album are very good for the timeframe in which Mr. Robbins sang before his untimely death. October 15, 2008
