5.0 out of 5 stars Marty at any time, May 21, 2002

My interest in Marty's singing began during the mid-sixties when I was browsing in a record shop and struck gold with the now famous red cover of Marty's "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" album. Although I added his follow-up albums to my collection, little did I realise that Marty's talent was not just confined to Country and Western and like a fool I was ignoring other little nuggets! After reading the previous reviews I decided to make it my goal to obtain a copy of this CD but after 10 weeks of placing orders just to see them cancelled due to unavailability, I was about to give up when Amazon's Market Place came to my rescue.

Marty after Midnight! What can I say? Move over Nat! Step aside Dean? This album is a superb collection of some of the most relaxing songs to help you unwind by a singer with a voice as smooth as silk. This is a well thought-out compilation, each song complementing the next that ends with the upbeat "Sunny side of the Street" leaving you wanting more. Most definitely will become a favourite to anyone's CD collection and I fervently hope it becomes more readily available so others can enjoy this marvellous singer who can encompass all genres instead of mistakenly belonging on the Country and Western shelf!

Well worth the purchase and a proud addition to my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Musical Treat From Marty Robbins, January 5, 1999

Marty Robbins' "Marty After Midnight" is a true gem! Marty puts his own distinctive style on such old jazz standards as "On The Sunny Side of the Street" and "Pennies From Heaven." Along with some of these classics, Marty adds an original song "Don't Throw Me Away," which equals in quality to the other tracks. Country fans will definitely be surprised at how smooth and classy Marty's voice is throughout this album. After listening to this album, one cannot help but wonder what might have happened had Marty ventured more into the pop field, his vocal quality ranks with that of Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin. A true winner, check this one out!!!

This is possible the best Marty Robbins album I've ever had the pleasure to hear. I only wish that my husband and I could have had Martys' version of "It had to be you " for our wedding. As many either know, or have learned-like I did, Marty got a great start with the Rock-a-billy sound and then delved more into country sound for more play on the air as the Rock-a-billy sound changed. The real tragedy here is that this album wasn't released until 1996. Leaving the world to wait 14 years after his death to be graced by such a wonderful sound variation on this muliti talented man. The fist time I ever heard Marty Robbins sing that I can remember was El Paso City and it was run as an "Oldie" at that time-(1980ish)I fell hard, As young teenage girls are known to do,for that voice that was like warm butter. and all I can say is that nearly 20 years later, this his style and Marty voice combination on these songs has renewed my long standing love for Marty Robbins (and this time my husband is the lucky receipient of the emotion that Martys' style brings to me.) You'll be pleasantly suprized with "Marty After Midnight" if all you know is the country Marty. And I can't help but wonder, what else does Marizona Robbins have tucked away of Martys old recordings that could be pure gold like this!
