Description
Marty Robbins was a country music superstar who crossed boundaries, enjoyed chart success in both the country and pop listings and in concert, presented a show that pleased equally varied audiences. Whether it was a stone country song or a gunfighter tale, up-tempo rockabilly, gospel or pop standard or a haunting melody from the far-away Caribbean or Hawaii, all were handled with equal ease in his highly recognisable baritone styling..Marty Robbins' music diversity shows through in the four albums brought together for this collection, headed up with his much beloved western songs. "The Drifter" is the original 1966 release and includes 'Mr. Shorty', a lengthy story song that ranks among the finest of his gunfighter ballads..Also from 1966 the second set of western songs "Saddle Tramp" gets its first public airing here as, originally, it was only previously available to members of the Columbia Record Club in the USA and Canada.."What God Has Done" was released in 1966 and features inspirational songs blending Robbins' originals among them. The title track and 'A Little Spot Of Heaven' with traditional songs of faith such as 'The Great Speckled Bird' and 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken'.."Christmas With Marty Robbins" was released in 1967 and, like the preceding inspirational album also included a handful of new songs.
