Description
Limited edition classic LP, reissued on 180g vinyl, audiophile pressing.

This quintessential release features Marty Robbins' most celebrated album, originally issued on the Columbia label: Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs (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 favourites as "El Paso," "Big Iron" and "Cool Water," as well as classic versions of "Streets of Laredo" and " Billy the Kid," among other western standards.

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.

Description

The complete album + 4 bonus tracks - pressed on limited edition 180g crystal clear vinyl.
The great Marty Robbins was country music's 'renaissance' man. He was a successful recording artist, stage performer, actor, author, songwriter, and stock car racer. His versatile baritone voice enabled him to handle many different styles of music, making him one of the most successful crossover artists during the 1950s and 1960s.
Throughout his career, Robbins recorded country, western, honky-tonk, rockabilly, blues, Hawaiian music, calypso, and gospel. But overall, he was a prime example of the singing cowboy as shown on this classic album -'Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs'.
"I feel certain that Marty Robbins was truly one of God's gifted." - Merle Haggard

Description

The complete album + 5 bonus track - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl, includes updated liner notes by writer and BBC broadcaster, Brian Morton.
The great Marty Robbins was country music's 'Renaissance' man. He was a successful recording artist, stage performer, actor, author, songwriter, and a stock car racer to boot. Throughout his career, Robbins recorded country, western swing, pure honky-tonk, rockabilly, blues, Hawaiian music, calypso, and gospel. But overall, he was a prime example of the singing cowboy style. Songs like those on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs established Marty Robbins as the master of this style of country music.
"I feel certain that Marty Robbins was truly one of God's gifted." - Merle Haggard
"The single most influential album of Western songs in post-World War II American music, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs touched a whole range of unexpected bases in its own time and has endured extraordinarily well across the ensuing four decades." - **** 1/2 Bruce Eder, AllMusic
