Most of you will know Marty Robbins from the songs 'El Paso' and 'Ballad
of the Alamo.' Does anyone know who the guitarist was that would accompany
Robbins on such tunes?

thanks

That would be the great Grady Martin, still backing Willy Nelson.

Yes!! and the hit El Paso was played on an arch top guitar according
to an article I recently read. Thought for a long time it was some
sort of nylon guitar.

I think that in last month's GP there was an article about past and present
Nashville session players.
Grady is one of the players that was profiled.

There was a GREAT album of Marty's that was all caribbean flavored music and
the guitar work was perfect for the flavor of the album...Must have been
Grady, huh?
