Brian.

I always think of this one as "The Arizona Ranger", and it is my favorite Marty song of all time.

Another good tune he did.

Thanks for posting Marty's music.
Good stuff.

1982 Damn seems like yesterday. Bear

Throw in "Streets of Laredo" and you have the hat trick.

Yep!

Marty is the man. Every Monday, the local radio station has all request... Well, I know the female DJ very well ( ) and she plays Continental Suit, or Big Iron every week.

I grew up in my youth listening to Marty play at my grandparents cabin in the mountains on the vinyl record player... Now we listen to it on CD... I miss the record player, hanging up every so often, then faint white noise, the lag between songs..

Marty went to high school in Glendale, AZ with my aunt and he worked at the local gas station and filled up my Dad's truck many a time before he made it on the national scene. My favorite is "El Paso"... I know all the words! O_C

Two of my favorites

My Father from Oklahoma listened to Marty Robbins. We had an album with him in a black outfit with a cowboy hat and gun. I think it had big iron on it for one. I bought a greatest hits album not too many years ago. I like Big Iron, El Paso, and not much else. Our tastes differ a bit. Merl Haggard went about the same way Okie from Muskogee, My own kind of hat and not much else. He loved the stuff.

Many many years ago I bought his three LP records with all the gunfighter ballads on them and at that time 8 tracks were king. I had a friend record them on an 8 track.I still have it today,but last year I found the CD that is out with all of them on it. It also has the short and long version of El Paso on it.
When I was in high schol "A White Sports Caot" was on the best sellers list.That was in the 50's

which cd was that song on? If you remember

One here. Too soon gone from us. Purest, clearest voice in music. Could understand every word he sang. Partial to "Ruby Ann".

My dad listened to alot of Marty Robbins as well, so growing up I heard it all the time. I like all the cowboy stuff, but I especially liked some of his other stuff, such as:

Marty was always my favorite. I think it was WSM radio in Nashville that would have country artists on live Friday nights starting at 11:30pm. As a kid I would stay up and listen anytime Marty was on. Just him a piano or guitar and the DJ.

Always loved his music, we named our 3rd son after him.

good stuff....
