Marty Robbins Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs LP Limited red and silver colored vinyl LP pressing. Original mono version of what most folks consider to be the single greatest postwar album of Western music, Marty Robbins' 1959 record Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs. Everything about this album is iconic, from it's ""quick draw"" cover art to the songs it contains-""Big Iron,"" ""Cool Water,"" ""The Master's Call,"" ""Billy the Kid,"" ""The Strawberry Roan,"" and, of course, ""El Paso"" (here in it's rare, full-length version)- that have come to define the Western genre. And the music has never sounded better than it does here: this silver and red ""Bullets 'n' Blood"" pressing was remastered from the original tapes by Vic Anesini at Battery Studios in New York. Comes complete with the amazing original album art, too... a classic album now even more collectible than before!

Includes 4 bonus tracks! This quintessential release features Marty Robbins' most celebrated album, originally issued on the Columbia label: ""Gunfighter Ballads"" and ""Trail Songs"" (1959). With his cowboy albums, Robbins helped keep western music alive during the late '50s and early '60s, and the warm, affectionate spirit of this music illustrates why. Here you will find such country favorites as ""El Paso,"" ""Big Iron"" and ""Cool Water,"" as well as classic versions of ""Streets of Laredo"" and "" Billy the Kid,"" among other western standards. These songs are about work, love, travel, death, the beauty of the American West, and living life on your own terms (and paying the price for it). Robbins' subjectis mostly the West of myth and movie, which benefits from his ability as a storyteller - most of the tracks may tell tales heard or seen 100 times onscreen, but he makes listeners feel like this is the first time they're hearing them, creating the excitement and anticipation of a poet in the middle of a spellbinding recital. This sensational album has been remastered and packaged in this very special collector's edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period.
