"The title doesn't do justice to this album; it's much more than a standard "Best of..." album. These really are some of his top songs and several are very hard to find elsewhere. I've got 3 copies of this CD just to make sure I will always have it handy.



Some of the rare songs are "Walking Piece of Heaven," "Don't You Think," "20th Century Drifter." The wonderfully-performed song "Love Me" is especially difficult to find on other albums; it's the song that Jeanne Pruett (no relation to me) wrote for him and was always a favorite with the audiences when he sang it live on the Grand Ole Opry. Buy the CD for this song alone! The songs "Life," "A Man and a Train," "It takes Faith," are the kind of inspirational songs Marty did so well, and "Crawlin' On My Knees" is a very traditional Marty type of song. This CD also showcases what a top songwriter Marty was and how emotional he could be.



For those who loved, and still love, Marty's music, this is one of the best CDs you can buy."
