Under Western Skies

Search: Never Tie Me Down
by: Marty Robbins

Release Date January 15, 2000
I'm a great lover of the Rockin' Rollin' side too Marty Robbins and after hearing a track by a Neo Rockabilly band called The Blue Cats namely "Rivers Bend" I went in search of the original by Marty and couldn't find it on any of his Gunfighter Ballad albums etc. Well I found the track on this box set and decided to splash out. Extravagent I know but this has turned out to be one of the best investments I ever made in a set of CD's. This set has educated me to the excellence of Marty Robbins. The gunfighter ballads and songs of the old west contained on these 4 CD's have opened up a whole new world of music to me. I play these CD's all the time, the quality of the recordings and musicianship is second to none. As for Marty's voice....haunting. ... Read More:

Blue Guitars [11CD + DVD]

Search: Never Tie Me Down
by: Chris Rea

Release Date October 17, 2005
Whilst I admire Chris Rea's ambition I fear the scope was too great and he stretched himself too far. From 11 CDs I found only 11 songs of top notch material. The majority of the rest was rather generic needing further effort applied or simply forgotten all together. Therefore it's quite a hefty sum to pay out when the majority of it is so unrewarding. Instead I'd recommend people save their money for the Blue Jukebox album which is a far more focused and rewarding experience.
