Marty Robbins - El Paso City (Live)

This guy needs a long awaited biopic, from country to nascar.

There's no dancing girls, flashing lights, props...just pure talent. These guys are great.

[@ConnieHernandez-w1o]

Back then that's what it took was real talent. You don't see much talent like that anymore.

This was a brilliant effort to capture the magic of El Paso which I loved so much. It remains one of my all time favourite recordings. England, March, 2024.

[@bl3873]

Being from the actual city of El Paso, Texas, this song and his "El Paso" song make me beam with pride. We're not a NY, LA, or Nashville, but we have history that other cities do not. If you are reading these comments, I invite you to my city to see what Marty Robbins was talking about. It's different now, but the essence of the story still reigns true when you go to Rosa's Cantina on Doniphan Drive not far from the actual Rio Grande and Mt. Cristo Rey. Thanks Marty for making my city famous twice. Whenever I drive in and approach the county line, I always play this song and the "El Paso" song.

[@baileyanderson244]

Great comment. I agree! Born and raised!

If I were to choose between a visit to Texas and New York, I’d choose Texas in a heartbeat. There are so many things I want to see there.

@@davidhumby Did you know there was 3 songs about this? All by Marty Robbins. There was El Paso, the 1st one, then El Paso City. Then I came across one called Feelena, (girl in the song) when she was born. I dont know when Marty recorded this one, but I had never heard it. It is a Beautiful Story that Marty tells. I love them all, & I know the words to them all. Have listened to them hundreds of times. They are all on You Tube, You can see them there. He is tied for 2nd place for My most Favorite Singer. 1. Elvis and Marty Robbins & Ray Price. They are All Phenomenal !!! Especially Elvis. He had my heart.

[@brandonmckay2143]

Anyone who doesn't like this song isn't country,this song takes me back to the good times. Real Country,the real music us good ol boys love and enjoy. Marty will live on forever in our hearts,and his music will play on forever as long as us country boys still live and then some......

[@rifletargets]

Although I had grown up to be a metal head, Marty Robbins was my favorite singer when I was kid. The music is country, the stories are metal (gold metal). Since 1980 this had been one of my favorites, four decades and still going strong!!

[@Cheesegoose3]

Western/country the best music

[@sacrilegioussasquatch]

I grew up as a metalhead and rap fan, but now I'm also way into older country. As a kid I thought everything but stuff like rammstein was bad but then i chilled out and opened my mind to other stuff. Marty Robbins is great!

Saw Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard and the Sons of the Pioneers in concert twice in Oakland. Marty was an outstanding performer and entertainer. He had the audience in the palm of his hands during both concerts. He was the best performer I have ever seen.

I saw Marty & Merle on the same concert too. Merle Haggard is a great singer, but he has no stage personality. Marty got it all

No one will, no one can. Even their own kids don't sing the same. Not that they should. Finding a proper balladeer is as difficult as finding a record company willing to look for the audience to suit such singers these days. I do wish they still had the audience they deserve.

[@ulrichschnier307]

More than a quarter of a century ago I was stationed at Fort Bilss in El Paso when I was a young 2nd Lieutenant. It was in that fall of 1996 when I met and fell in love with the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Due to a quirk of fate, I did not find the courage to make her my wife, although I believe today that she wished for it. Now, 27 years later, I am a "full bird" Colonel. I have never been married. And not a single day passes by on which I don't think of my beautiful Angel and those days back in El Paso.

[@jnichols3]

I missed meeting him in Nashville by a few minutes about 1980. My parents and I were in his museum/giftshop. The lady who who operated it told us he had been there most of the morning, but had just left to meet with MCA repesentatives about the upcoming awards show. I got a shirt that had a picture of him sitting on the hood a corvette. Also bought a license plate with his name on it, that I still have and moves with me wherever I live. Within ten years after his death country music songs started to sound so much alike that by the early 90s I was no longer a country fan.
