4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but incomplete :-(((, December 21, 2001

This review is from: No. 1 Cowboy (Audio CD)

I love Marty Robbins and all the music on this CD, but was VERY disappointed to discover that an entire verse had been omitted from his all-time greatest cowboy outlaw song "El Paso." In case you don't have a photographic music memory, the missing verse is right after he shoots the cowboy. Here is what is missing:
"... the handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

JUST FOR A MOMENT I STOOD THERE IN SILENCE
SHOCKED BY THE FOUL, EVIL DEED I HAD DONE.
MANY THOUGHTS RACED THROUGH MY MIND AS I STOOD THERE.
I HAD BUT ONE CHANCE, AND THAT WAS TO RUN.

Out through the back door of Rose's I ran.....

This CD contains "digitally remastered" versions of his old hits. Whoever digitally remastered this first track on the CD did so seamlessly, and if you don't know all the words you won't realize it is missing. Nevertheless, I am shocked by the foul, evil deed that was done to this epic song.

This review is from: No. 1 Cowboy (Audio CD)

Most of Marty Robbins Greatest Western ballads. This CD brings you back to the old west, back to the times of cattle drives and gun fights. It shows the true range of this incredible artist.
