Synopsis

Amazon.com

The ink had barely dried on Marty Robbins's Columbia recording contract when the Arizona-based singer debuted on the Grand Ole Opry on June 30, 1951. No matter where his career took him, the Opry remained home base until his death in 1982. This collection surveys Robbins's first eight years on the show. On that solid, confident 1951 debut performance, "Ain't You Ashamed" reflected his plaintive side. He tore through "Good Night Cincinnati, Good Mornin' Tennessee," backed by hot lead guitar almost certainly from Grady Martin. The remaining selections, in crystal-clear mono, reflect a bit of Robbins's gleeful eclecticism. He rendered the 1920s pop standard "My Isle of Golden Dreams" as a plaintive country tune. A stunning "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)" affirmed his mastery of Hank Williams. Perhaps this set's greatest value is hearing contemporary audiences embracing "Singing the Blues," "The Story! of My Life," "A White Sport Coat," and "El Paso," all classic Robbins hits today, when they were still new and fresh. --Rich Kienzle

CD Reviews

A First-Class CD

Tom Barton | Austin, TX United States | 06/13/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Early Classics Live" is a great collection for anyone who is a Marty Robbins fan. Aside from the fact that there are songs on this CD that he never recorded in a studio, it is great to hear him do what he did best -- entertain before a live audience.As hard as it is to imagine, Marty Robbins was not born as an entertainer. This collection provides a glimpse of his development onstage over a ten-year period. The incredibly shy young man that Red Foley introduced to the Grand Ole Opry in 1951 (captured on this CD) develops into an onstage giant at the end of the CD with a performance of "El Paso," complete with the excitement that could only be found at the Opry when Marty performed there. The CD captures him with some of his early stage antics, along with his commanding stage presence.This one is well worth having! I only hope it is not the last to be heard of some of his amazing Opry performances!"

What else are they trying to hide from us?

"This is awesome all the way around. The sound, the packaging, the notes, everything. Now what I am wondering. How many classic live Opry recordings like this are sitting in some vault somewhere collecting dust? Buy this now!"

"It is "The Marty Robbins Album" its Amazing in his long standing career of brilliance that more live performances have not been released. This album shows true grit and spirit that Marty Robbins had and still these timeless classics live on through the passage of time. No Marty Robbins Fan should be without this Album nor should anyone who wants a peice of Country Music History. This is Marty at the prime of his career the sound qaulity is amazing."
