 Rating:  - missing a cut from the original albumWhat happened to "Tall Handsome Stranger" ? I would like to order this cd but I notice this version is lacking at least one cut from the original album. Rating: - Agree With Very Good; Agree With IncompleteI purchased this CD from Amazon for one cut, the delighful and insightful "Mr. Shorty." Alas, like the previous reviewer noted about "El Paso," this song is also woefully diminished by omission of key verses. The original consisted of nineteen verses, of which four are missing here.

If you would have bought the Legacy/American Milestones series remaster of Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs or the Bear Family Under Western Skies boxed set, you would have known ... Read More Rating: - Very good, but incomplete :-(((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 ... Read More |
