Marty Robbins - Marty Robbins: El Paso - A Centenary Tribute

It was Johnny Cash who declared: There's no greater country singer than Marty Robbins. Yet Marty Robbins (1925-1982) was so much more than one of the most popular country artists of all time. His warm, appealing voice proved equally adept at rock 'n' roll, pop, Hawaiian music, standards, cool jazz and, especially, his own genre of gunfighter ballads - few singers have successfully displayed such wide-ranging styles, all of them represented in Retrospective's centenary tribute. From his debut 1951 recording, Tomorrow You'll Be Gone, through to his biggest UK hit, Devil Woman, in 1962, here is Marty's very best.
