This album, I had picked up a copy of the first time I'd looked through the 1001 albums book. I love the backing vocal harmonies in some songs, and the simple but effective arrangements behind Marty's smooth crooning telling these stories. His voice actually reminds me a bit of Roy Orbison (high praise) on some tracks.
Tasty tidbit, the song "El Paso", aside from being featured in final episode of Breaking Bad, was the first country song to be awarded a grammy.
I always laugh when I listen to 'the strawberry roan' where he's singing about bucking horses and there is a line (2.34) that I could swear sounds like "he's about the worst fucker that I've ever met".
