Grady Martin - El Paso Theme From Malamondo Funny World

To hear this version if it was the isolate track just so good .

Grady Martin's playing on El Paso is exquisite.

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys off to my left ride a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting I can’t let them catch me I have to make it to Rosa’s back door

My good friend Henry Jerome hired Grady Martin to play guitar an on may of the productions done at Owen Bradley Studios when Henry managed Johnny Burnette and the Rock'n Rill Trio. Grady will always the best and no one can take his place at his musicianship.

Beautiful..... Simply beautiful.

Though I loved Marty Robbins and his voice, I've long believed that without Grady Martin's back-up, El Paso would not have been the hit that it was.

did he also play on the Alamo by Marty?

Grady Martin was in Willie Nelson's band for several years. I saw them in 1981 at Floores' Country Store near San Antonio. (Grady released a scarce 10" Decca Lp record in the 1950's that is hotter than his usual 12" stuff. He could pick it all.)

Grady was THE guitar player back in the 50s and 60s!
Along with the other cats in the "A Team

Marty's El Paso was one of the all time masterpieces and in no small part due to Grady's superlative taste.

I have played guitars for some sixty years now and am only now beginning to be able to approach some of the songs of Grady Martin---after 60 years!!! He is one of those artists who quickly become national treasures, and yet, he was always quite pleased to remain humbly in the background Grady, you were, and are, a legendary musical GIANT! Wish you were still with us!

then be proud

I didn't know that!!

Often it is the background studio musician that adds that certain ingredient that seasons the vocals of the performer making a song unforgettable!

Thanks Grady for wonderful performances and the humility to stand in the background.

Everyone, this is my grandfather. My name is Leand Martin, and this man, this superb musician, was one of my many inspirations to get into music. Unfortunately, I didn't know that he or my father, Joe Martin, were musicians until after they'd passed on from this world, but they both motivated me to pursue music, even if it wasn't in country. I'm currently working on my first album with hopes of recording, producing and publishing it sometime this summer, and there will be many more to come, all because of Dad and Grandpa instilling that mindset into me.

Love Grady's playing!!! I use do not know who backed up Marty Robbins for a while. But, when I found out who it was I have always been a fan of Grady. Did he play many falmico stuff for Marty? I know he also played for Elvis Presley, and Johnny Horton. Two other big people I love.

Awesome!!!
