These are two albums that Marty made in the 60's in what was his golden period. There's no doubt that his western songs are the most popular with listeners around the world, but this guy could sing anything. The first album mixes up country and pop and has some great versions of 'Hurt', 'Are You Sincere', 'To each His Own', 'To Think You've Chosen Me', 'I Can't Help It' plus a great title tune 'Just A Little Sentimental.' The second album finds Marty in a more late night style, but while the songs are not standards they are of the highest standard and sung impeccably by Marty. The thing that mystifies me is how such a great singer remains comparatively underrated as listening to Marty's warm, soulful vocals is one of life's great pleasures.

This is an enjoyable listen. I have both of these albums on record but they sound much better on CD. The warm infectious tones of Martys' voice made any song his own, as is proven here on the many standards on this set. So turn the lights down low and get a little sentimental!!

this is an excellent 2 cd collection,each cd has a good selection of songs on it,
and of course Marty Robbins and we all know how well Marty Robbins can sing them,
a very good buy for 24 songs well worth buying Bette
