What a voice he had! _________________________ In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

His last couple of CD's were among his best. It just amazes me that he could take a Nine Inch Nails song and turn it into one of his own. This one is off American IV

Marty Robbins did some great stuff; Mr Shorty, Big Iron, etc. In the dark in the field I would silently sing Night Riders Lament and think about how different some lives are and how differently they are measured. _________________________ Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Coot Gooood Morning SimHQ! Senior Member Registered: 08/30/05 Posts: 4348 Loc: !!USA!!	Cowboy/Western music is some of my all time favorite music as well. I grew up listening to Marty Robbins. He's one of my all time singing heroes. One of my other cowboy/singer songwriter favorites is Michael Martin Murphey. He has a nice version of this one too from his Cowboy Songs II cd I believe. I also really enjoy a version that Burl Ives does as well. Here's the Burl Ives one. I enjoy the instrumental on his version as well as some of the other little things that makes his version his. I couldn't find MMM's version.

Coot Gooood Morning SimHQ! Senior Member Registered: 08/30/05 Posts: 4348 Loc: !!USA!!	Hey MadDog cool thanks for that! There's country folk all over. Its hard to resist that pedal steel. I believe Marty Robbins was one of the first to really incorporate steel guitar as well as using trumpets and such. And he could do it all. Country and Western, popular, Calypso, Hawaiian. He also served in the Solomon Islands during WWII. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."
