5.0 out of 5 stars Worth 10 Stars, March 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Marty Robbins - All-Time Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Every song on this collection is a true gem. Marty Robbins was a true genius and his songs always tell a story that makes you think. The only qualm I have is the cover-the picture makes it look like Marty was underwater. Otherwise, a great collection at a great price. Don't hesitate to buy this if you only need 1 cd of Marty's big hits.

Eclectic Revisited "Charlie" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Marty Robbins - All-Time Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

You can take any given number of Marty Robbins songs and call them his greatest hits as the man had talent and versatility to spare. Certainly most of the songs on this package are exceptional but there are so many left out. "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)", perhaps his greatest crossover hit is missing in favor of Hank Williams, Sr.'s "Kaw-Liga" (done to death) and the so-so "Maria (If I Could"). And the hit doesn't even appear on the follow-up album of "more greatest hits". What were they thinking? Early hits "I Couldn't Keep From Crying" and "The Story of My Life" are not here. And on it goes. You will probably enjoy most or all of the songs herein but if you can find it, it's better to go for "The Essential Marty Robbins 1951-1982" that covers some hokey early recordings before he hit his stride plus the ones named, other certified HITS and songs that were only mild hits or not hits at all but are a lot more rewarding to listen to than the less-than-blockbuster filler found here. Shop around before you buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Most of his best., June 15, 2004

As always, there's a few songs missing here, but for the most part, it's a great and lengthy collection of most of his best stuff. Of course it has "Big Iron", "Devil Woman", "Streets Of Laredo", and his biggest hit "El Paso". I also like "Love Is Blue", and his version of "Ribbon Of Darkness". If I didn't get this album, I'd probably get one of his more western collections, like "No.1 Cowboy" or "Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs". Overall, if you're a fan of Johnny or Willie, you'll be a fan of Marty as well.
