Your respect for the artist and the music really comes through and leaves me with a deep appreciation for all that you do. Thank you sir
Also feel the same about Fil always appreciate his genuine enjoyment of the artists he analyzes.
I will 100,000th that.
Yes, I agree. And The attention to the details and nuances of the artists' performances is mind boggling!
Tx Phil love ya
Agree 100%, which is why I keep listening.
Dude raced in and financed his own car in NASCAR races 😂🤟🏻a true one of a kind legend
th-cam.com/video/w38ruXZiDHs/w-d-xo.html
And a hero!
That was NASCAR before they had all the big corporate sponsors like they have today. Loved Marty's western songs and as years went by he turned into quite the character when performing.
Marty was a consummate showman. Quite a far cry from the young man starting out who was too shy to even look at the audience. As far as racing, he had a deal to always go on last at the Opry so he could finish his races at the Nashville Speedway.
@@bluesman3232 search for the story when Marty cheated on his car at a NASCAR race (Took the restricter off) and found himself among the leaders at 200mph. He said it scared the shit out of him.
He was the class act of Country Music. The old timers of country music had so much class and approachability. The performers now could learn so much from them.
When I listen to this classic song, I can smell the campfire, hear the coyote's cries in the distance and see the cowboys sitting around the camp and singing. This is genuine western music. Marty was the master of this genre. And what a voice!! I love it when Male singers sound like men!! Check out The Sons Of The Pioneers.
The Sons of the Pioneers were a class act. Check out Marty doing a great live version of one of their classics: th-cam.com/video/RxAQwMNXlic/w-d-xo.html
@ Laurie Kane
Yes! Give me a good baritone any day! A falsetto just never did it for me.... maybe that’s why I never really got into Michael Jackson.
But I’m a girl.
@@smfvmd Love me some cool water!
@@smfvmd yah but dont forget the "castration of the strawberry roan"
Brian Branson, I guess that's a classic too, lol.
His album ''Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs'' will take you on journey.
Fantastic album
Martin's life is worth a movie. He has such an insane American-Nothing-To-Hero story, it's straight from a superhero comic.
What a worthy tribute to the greatest voice ever to grace country music. Both Bernie Taupin and Elton John acknowledge the influence of Marty's Gunfighter Ballads in that they began to write songs because of that album. In the U.K, Joe Brown named Marty as his favourite country singer as did Pete Townsend, while in the States most of the top vocalists like Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell, Frankie Laine, Faron Young, Elvis Presley, Hank Snow, Eddy Arnold, Billy Walker, Roy Acuff, plus top disc jockeys like Ralph Emery and Bill Mack all had a high regard for his vocal and songwriting ability.
I regard Marty so highly in that the sound of his voice and music have been a constant source of pleasure to me and thousands of other folk around the world and will continue to do so until I leave this old world behind.
You have that storytelling vibe yourself..well said.
The Grand Ole Opry didn't want to allow Marty Robbins to have brass instruments in his songs. He said if he couldn't have them, he would stop playing the Opry on Sat nights after his races. Boom. Brass instruments hit the Opry stage. When he was driving to shows, his wife would drive, and he would sit in the back seat and write song. Incredible talent.
That darn Grand Ol' Opry. They did the same thing to Johnny Cash.
Marty had a beautiful and strong voice and a great ability to tell a story.
Sure did . We could use a few more Marty s today.
Most of Marty’s song have better plot lines than today’s feature films pity someone hasn’t translated them onto the screen. I especially like big iron and a song called Sundown. Also one called Mr Shorty.
axleroy ... It's me Mr. Shorty... your friend. Brings a tear.
Somebody should do an anthology series for HBO or Netlflx with stories extrapolated from classic Country and Western songs.
I agree would be a lot better than the crap they put out now
I've often thought of how cool an El Paso movie would be. Give Felina a listen. It's a sequel told from Felinas point of view
Right I have listened to the sequel it’s excellent. I like El Paso city too very good.
Marty Robbins was a national treasure. I grew up listening to his music, and I sincerely mourned when he passed away. Like Ray Price and Bobby Darin, he could sing just about any genre of music and make it his own.
Can't just call this song "Country", this is where the "Western" half comes to the fore.
Elwood Blues: Um, what kind of music do you usually have here?
Bartender: Oh, we have both kinds: Country and Western!
"Country Music Hall of Fame" not "Western Music Hall of Fame" or "Country & Western Music Hall of Fame". That's why Country Music, is a correct term...
@@rusynlig1 Only comparatively recently. When I was born back in 1958 and on into the 1970s it was called "Country and Western." John Denver was one person who did not like the ditching of Western from the genre's title.
@@ToddSauve I'm born in 1962, and i have the same impression that C&W, disappear sometime in my youth...
@@rusynlig1 I remember the "I like both kinds of music, Country and Western" joke still being quite popular in the 1980s!
A White Sport Coat also was a big hit on the pop charts. No pigeon hole for that gentleman
A song that actually tells a story. How absolutely last century...sadly. Why and when did this skill of expert raconteurs such as Marty Robbins disappear? It is indeed sorely missed.
There's still a few out there. You just have to seek them out.
Yeah many of those older songs are like that. When I hear Reba McEntire sing “Fancy” it’s just like I’m there and can see everything she sings, no need for music videos.
Red Steagall
I dunno. Alot of indie country artists still do it, plus some not so indie folks like Chris Stapleton. Rap has a long history of telling stories, and I've heard quite a few rappers say old country is a big influence on how they try to tell stories in their songs.
@@burninsherman1037 Fair enough. Point well made.
Thank you love Marty Robbins and I know the history of this song, My sister and I harmonize this song to this day Many don't know he wrote this song in 15 minutes cross country Thanks FIL now i'll shut up and listen to you
Three times he crossed that border with that idea of writing this song
and then forgot all about it and then "Well last year I said that I was
going to write a song about "El Paso" and I just said "Out in the west
Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl"
-Marty Robbins "50 year history of Country music" (1972) narrated by
Hugh Cherry
Pure WESTERN! Cowboy at its best!! Evocative of place, time, situation and era!! “Country” is more rural southern n mountain. Here u can also hear the Mexican sounds wafting throughout
Know I have told this story somewhere on the internet before but...
12 Years old? 1973?: New friend takes me me to his house in the afternoon after school...
House is very dark. His mom is single mom. Come into the living room ..see candles burning. El Paso is playing on a turntable set on repeat. On the west wall of the living room is - a giant portrait of Marty. Below is a shrine to Marty complete with burning candles and other various Marty memorabilia.
The entire lyrics of this song are now burned into my mind from the two or three times I went there because - It was some bizarre shit. This women worshiped Marty like some kind of catholic saint.
Rock!
wow, what an experience
She was cool! I can identify with that kind of respect for an artist!
Wow, we are around the same age.
Marty Robbins had one of the most beautiful voices in country music. He was also a great piano player. He died of cancer way too young. Enjoy more of his music. 🤗
Cancer? 7:25 7:26
Heart failure after quadruple bypass. He had heart issues for a lot of his adult life. @@alanredner2379
You went way back here. Marty was a great singer, one of my mom's favorites.
Yeah, my mom's favorite!
There are two other songs that go with El Paso and those are El Paso part 2...Feleena, then El Paso City. This gives a fuller version of the story. I just love Marty Robins' western songs. He was such a magnificant storyteller and I truly miss him, his talent and his self-deprecating humor.😢💖
The big iron on his hip. Hey, I'm from Texas, and I remember the Ranger.
Originally Country and Western were two different genres... Western music was Cowboy music , Country was just about everything else sung with a Southern twang. Eventually, the two genre's were melded into a single genre of Country and Western.
His album Gunfighter Ballads is one of my all time favorite albums(originally turned on to me by my dad when I was a little girl❤). Marty was my dad's favorite singer and he used to sing many of his songs while playing guitar. Listening to this now I am crying thinking of dad, who I lost in 2013
So sorry for your loss, Kathleen. This reminds me, also, of my late much beloved dad, who sang the whole thing for me and my brother, night after night, as our (requested) lullaby.
Condolences to you both. I lost my dad last March. And like you both, when I hear certain songs or artists, I can’t keep it together.
@@scottyboy7462 Thank you. Sorry, too, for your own loss. It's so hard to lose a father.
Lynn Dow 🙏🏼
He was one of my dads favorite too. So glad he exposed me to true artistry in music.
He's one of my favorite. So are you. I really enjoy the time I get to spend watching your opinion of the artist
Fil: True Story: Grady Martin was playing the lead guitar on the original recording of "El Paso." He was running late when he arrived for the session. The Producer said, "Let's go for a take." Grady said, "I've never heard the song." The Producer handed him a nylon string guitar and a chart and said, "Oh, Grady. . .Just follow the chart and play some "Mexican" sounding stuff." Grady did it in ONE TAKE! When you listen to the original, everything Grady Martin did was totally improvised. Also, Tompall and The Glazer Brothers were singing the harmony on the original. Check out their version of Kristofferson's song, "Lovin' Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again." It's KILLER. . . .LOVE your Videos, Fil !
Buddy Davis the glazer brothers were incredible with their harmonies. Too bad they didn't go anywhere near where they should have.
Grady Martin was astonishing on those marty Robbins tracks
Grady played the guitar that Marty had chosen for the recording. Jim Glaser told me that Marty had found it but that the strings were so high that only Grady could get anything out of it. As far as vocalists on the recording...vocalists were Jim Glaser (Tenor) and Bobby Sykes (Baritone). Tompall couldn't sing parts...which is why he always sang lead on Glaser recordings.
I need to offer a slight correction.... From what I have read previously, Jim Glaser sang harmony with Marty on 'El Paso.' Tompall apparently did not want to rehearse for it, so Bobby Sykes (standing to Marty's right in the video) sang, as well. Regardless, you are correct -- the Glasers were awesome as a group! Loved Jim Glaser, in particular. Have you seen them perform "Molly Darling" on TH-cam?
I respectfully stand corrected. It is really obvious that at least Jim G. is singing the high harmony part on this cut. Jim was by far the best singer in the Glaser Bros. I've heard them sing "Molly Darlin'" many times, and, as a teenager, (I'm 72) I would listen to the Grand Ole Opry live on 650 AM every Saturday night. The Glaser Bros. were always a great part of any segment they appeared on. I was very pleased with their rendition of, "Lovin' Her Was Easier." It got them heard more by the general public. It was wonderful !
As a child I absolutely loved him. Very much a story teller. Sweet voice. As a child I was completely drawn in by the story
Love Marty Robbins. Such a great voice. His gospel and his Hawaiian songs are fantastic
Ya know, you deserve more attention on your channel for your pure skill and entertainment, keep up the good work man
Many nights I laid in bed listening to parties, at a very young age. Inherited this pink album. Knew the lyrics by the year after it was released; such a good story song. Had no idea the Dead covered it. Thanks for sharing this one.
Fil, another AMAZING country singer. I love Marty Robbins. I have to admit my favorite song of his is The Story Of My Life, as a little girl whenever I'd hear the whistling I'd giggle and ask my granddaddy to turn the song up. Great memories. Great vocals.
Another of my favorite artists!! Wonderful storytellers. Super talent. His son is quite good. Ronnie Robbins.
One of my favorite artists of all time. Thankyou for this.
Fil...Marty had an uproarious sense of humour. He decided he would win the race one day...so he had his pit crew remove the restrictor plates on the carburettor. He said it was a blast passing Richard Petty. He drove into the winner's circle and immediately confessed to his practical joke. He was beloved by racing drivers, crews, and fans as much as he was in his musical endeavours.
Four and a half minute song (when most were about half that length) and no chorus, just a straight narrative - absolutely remarkable!
Great review and history of Marty. It’s always interesting to hear what you to say. Thanks.
He’s my “homeboy” from Glendale, Arizona.
My friend’s father went to school with him- we all went to The same High School.
This is a sub genre of country called western music.
But you are so awesome Fil!
I saw Marty in concert in Las Vegas Nevada on my 13th birthday. It was a treat. I'm not aware of him playing country or bluegrass music, Marty had his own style and we loved it. Several years later I returned to Las Vegas with my friends, we saw Engelbert Humperdinck in concert all of us girls had a crush on him :) Thank you Fil for uploading this video. Awesome memories!
The closing line of this song gets me every time. Brings tears to my eyes.
My grandmother loved to listen to Marty Robins. She grew up in Montana during the late 1800's. They had a dirt floor. She went to college, and taught school in Arizona (as well as many other things). This song is perfect as it is.
Marty was my mamas favorite singer. I used to listen to this song a lot. It was a fascinating story to me. This was referred to as country western. Faron Young is a good country singer of the 50s and 60s.
He was my dad's favorite as well
Marty Robbins, right up there with the greatest country singers and this song is one of my favorite old country songs, because of the story, the Rhythm it had
I very much like that you bring out all these little known facts about well known people. I'm astounded at the depth of your knowledge. Thank you for another gem of a video.
You're turning into quite the historian there, Fil....Good on ya! This was a great review. Most of the history I didn't know. Thanks!
Gotta love that old country music! I'll say it AGAIN, nobody does lyrics like country does lyrics. Thanks Fil. 😁
They call it 3 chords and the truth.
@@joeyrobison6629
*"Three chords and the truth"*
-Harlan Howard
Love how he, (Marty Robbins) tells this message and understand this country artist's singing, voice! great reaction!
I used to listen to Marty when I visited my grandparents. He was their favorite singer.
I'd forgotten how much I loved Marty Robbins!
My dad listened to Marty all the time, so this became one of my favorite songs (still is)
Fil, I LOVE the diversity of the music you analyse. This guy is the perfect example for me.
Definitely not "my kind of music" (whatever that means!)
He definitely didn't have my kind of politics
When so many people are using social media to divide people, you are using music to unite people. It's great to be introduced to this man's life and work. Thank you!
You said that with Love!
I saw him in concert when I was very young. I was on the second row and it was like he was singing right at me. I know he could not see me but every woman there I think they were thinking the same thing. I am only 63 but have a great appreciation for many types of music. You are helping me enjoy it even more
It's enjoyable watching Fil's expressions whilst he's watching/listening to the songs. Great channel thanks for posting!
I first heard his music from an album my dad borrowed ....about 1962. A good memory of my dad. Surprising finding out he raced in NASCAR and being in the navy. Thank you for talking about him
Your real appreciation for so many different genres of music is helping make the world a better place. We're not so very different as humans in that we all want love and appreciation. Thanks for doing your part Fil. From even just the comments section here I can see it's really a positive influence on the world, because these things ripple outward into the world. And to everyone who smiles at a stranger, has the strength to selflessly help others: you all have my gratitude and respect. I love you all. ^-^
"Don't worry 'bout me. It's all over now. Though I may be blue I'll manage somehow. Love can't be explained, can't be controlled. One day it's warm, next day it's cold. Is that the one? You're sharing facts not many know. A good man.
Hey Fil, I was raised on this music, Your appreciation of all genre's of music is "par excellance"
Thank you for doing Marty, he was a fantastic storyteller and was my dad's and my favorite country and western singer
LOVE THIS SONG 😍😍😍😍
What a great old video of Marty! Totally love it. And as usual a great analysis. This song is the first of a Trilogy. The second is "Feleena" and the third "El Paso City". They are both amazing. Its interesting that the cowboy dies at the door he ran out of before. Thanks for relating the NASCAR story. I love it but never heard that story. Thanks Fil!!
Phil, I'm 75, still a rocker and a mocker. You appreciate and love the classics. Totally respect and enjoy your channel. You really feel it my friend, much appreciated. Don't stop.
Marty Robbins is my all-time favorite country western male artist. ❤
One of my favourites. My dad used to listen to Marty when I was growing up, and I had distinctive memories as a young boy seeing the characters of this ballad in my mind's eye. It is a poignant song like "Running Bear" by Sonny James. I used to act that one out in my bedroom when I was aged 6 or so. These ballads are so rich. Thanks for including this gem.
Great stories and history on Marty! Thank you, hes one of my favorites.
Mr. Robbins could tell such stories thru his singing ,such a great entertainer .
"A White Sports Coat and a Pink Carnation", another great favorite by Mr. Robbins in the late 1950's.
Your understanding of composition and theory, regardless of the genre, really is showcased here. It's a real pleasure to listen to someone, who has a bit of an idea, of what they're throwing in your face. We!! Done.
The best "Storyteller" ever. He would write songs in the back seat riding to & from shows. His voice was so soothing & also full of emotion. If I had to listen to only one singer, it would have to be Marty Robbins. He had a vast range of songs he wrote & sang. He was "One of a kind". My favorite singer. Thank you for this analysis.
Beautiful song. That whole Gunfighters album is epic.
I started learning the guitar back in 69 and lm so grateful for my dad he was my first teacher
One of the things I really like about your vids is the (sometimes) barely related commentary.
Marty and this album/song was one of my parents favorites so often played in our household. Lovely.
played in my household too
My Mother had the album this song was on and she played it often. I remember tears in her eyes and because I was of tender years didn't quite understand. As I grew into a young lady and we'd listen to Marty we both became teary eyed. Same thing happened with her love of Leonard Cohen. I have many songs from boh artist's on my playlist that I've labeled Momma. ❤
I adore Fil's enthusiasm for the vintage music I love! Marty's wonderful harmony singers, Bobby Sykes (on Marty's right) and Don Winters (on Marty's left) deserve a shout out of their own. I'm always amused by how utterly relaxed Bobby appears in these videos with Marty, as if they were all pickin' and singin' on a back porch somewhere.
Marty Robbins was a phenomenal talent. Such a great singer/songwriter/storyteller.
My first memories of Marty Robbins are my mother putting me down for a nap and putting Marty Robbins on the phonograph. Maybe that is why one of my favorite songs today is "A White Sportcoat and a Pink Carnation". I listen to an oldies radio channel in the car. You can imagine my surprise when about 10 years ago I heard my son sing "Big Iron" when it came onto the radio. I love the story on that song, too. Fun music that makes me happy!
The same thing always comes to mind when I listen to Marty Robbins. Poetry. Take away the music sometime and just read the words from songs like "The Master's Call" or "Running Gun". absolute mastery of words.
"I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed
My own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path
As my strength was slowly fading, I could see him walk away
And I knew that where I lie today, he to must lie some day"
Absolute effing poetry.
This was one of my dad’s favorite songs which he played all the time during my childhood❤️
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina,
Music would play and Felina would whirl...
Excellent choice Fil...he's a classic.
Can you do a Gordon Lightfoot for us? Today is his birthday and the anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald was the other day. thanks much!
Gordon is already out there somewhere!
It was about year ago
Harley
Is it Felina?! I always thought it was Celina (Selina?).
@@wingsofpegasus oh my! so sorry for asking you ROCK! (literally)!
@@shaifarber4243 lol so did I but I Google the lyrics last night!
This was such a fun one for me because I was born in ‘56. I think we had a 45 of this song and it was on all jukeboxes. Loved hearing Marty’s life history too! Love your videos!
Love Fil's genuine love and admiration for American music, the country that gave birth to the greatest music of all time.
Marty's songs always had the Spanish tinge to them always a story based in the southwest U.S.
Not all songs were based in the southwest, such as "San Francisco Teardrops" and "Franklin, Tennessee."
I know that the majority songs are stories, but some artists such as Marty, Jim Reeves, Johnny Horton and others just had a unique way of presenting it. After being a long-haul truck driver, and passing through El Paso so many times, I can actually visualize the story in my mind as he's telling it.
Always loved his voice new artistes do not come close to this legend , R.I.P MARTY THANKS FOR YOUR songs.
Watching your appreciative face is part of the enjoyment Fil!
Marty Robbins; he was my Mother’s favorite singer and one of the greatest artists of that generation. What a wonderful trip down memory lane. You are doing great work here by not allowing his life and artistry to be forgotten. You always surprise and please your subscribers by switching it up; boredom does not stand a chance against you. It is why your channel is my favorite by far and I never miss a video if I can help it. Thank You Professor! (Still waiting on Dwight Yoakum)
Hahaha oh yes! Somee Dwight Yoakum! He has an old school way about him. Legs for days with the exaggerated western boot and his swagger. Dwight Yoakum tackled "Suspicious Minds" and nailed it. Big Elvis fan here. And because of my mom, I know all these old song. But yes Dwight Yoakum has style, stage presence and a plethora of great songs. I have too many favorites to name one. As far as country music I like Yoakum, Dolly, Willy, Waylyn, and the boys...old school. And Blue Grass.
One of those great songs you all sit down and sing along with! A story told so melodically and sung beautifully! Excellent Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀👌🤘
Thank you, what a wonderful artist and person Marty Robbins was.
Marty Robbins was a one-of-a-kind. If you haven't heard Marty sing "Red River Valley", I recommend it. That song belongs to Marty. Period. Fil, great video.
If you think this is something, you should take a look at the session personnel list for the studio version. It was more than a recording session, it was an event!!
I just wanted to say, how much I enjoy your channel... I learn something new every video.... i'm 63... and know well all of these people... your a good guy..thank you again
Wingman Stop it every time I turn on my computer I find you have done another one of my favorite artists. I used to listen to Marty while playing chess with my oldest brother before he passed away when I was young. Still have all of Marty's albums. Thanks again Fil.
Great analysis and story of Marty Robbins. I remember hearing this song as a 10 year old living in New Mexico. This is a beautiful classic country song with country singers or cowboys sing the nice harmonies in background. Later on I moved (my family, mom and dad) to California and lived in Azusa where The Sufaris were from nearby Glendora where I just heard that analysis of Wipeout.
Love this song, reminds me of my dad. He was from el paso, family still lives there. Thanks, Fil 😍
This song is a masterpiece. Marty among the best. I love this clip. Thank you
I just watched the tribute to Loretta Lynn, and you mentioned, as you had in the other analysis of her singing, how country music often had dark subjects presented in light, happy tunes. Every time you've mentioned that, I've thought of this song. When I was a girl, aged 10-15, my family lived in Phoenix, Arizona. Whenever I was in the car with my dad, he'd put on a country station and often this song would play. We both loved it. We'd listen to it and then say, "Such a sad song," but kind of chuckle too because of the contrast between the tragic story and the kind of bouncy tune. My dad loved the old-fashioned country music, and I love it because of him. Thanks for talking about this song.
Thanks for this look into Marty Robbins, it would be hard to imagine such a great singer songwriter disappearing from the ears an eyes of the general populous, analysis such as this will hopefully compel future generations or at the very least keep his stunning legacy alive...
I totally had a flashback to my younger self listening to this great song and singer. I am so glad you did this Fil. I hope it somehow finds its way to a new audience. I appreciate the story about Marty saving Richard's life on the race track. He was an amazing man.
Excellent recording for the time and for a tv setup. This is the first song I learned on guitar and ukulele both.
My mom was one of his biggest fans! I know the words to many of his songs from hearing them since I was a kid. His son is also great at performing his songs. A true master at his craft! If you ever see Merle Haggard’s impression of him it is spot on!!
Marty was absolutely one of the best! Loved Devil Woman! Great country singer and storyteller!
this is such a haunting story,,,its beautiful. i tried it once at karaoke, I wasnt able to do it justices sadly. very difficult to sing. thank you for doing this one.
One of my favorite artists, hugely talented. Thank you sir!
