Description

Step into the early 1970s sound of country music with Today by legendary singer, songwriter, and stock car racer Marty Robbins. Released in 1971 by Columbia Records (C 30816), this standout album showcases Robbins’s effortless vocal range across a rich collection of country-pop ballads, traditional country arrangements, and heartfelt storytelling.

Pressed on 12-inch 33 RPM stereo vinyl, the album was produced by Marty Robbins himself with arrangements by Bill McElhiney. Highlighted by the hit singles “Early Morning Sunshine” and “The Chair,” the analog recording pairs Robbins’s warm tenor vocals with acoustic rhythm guitars, gentle steel, and smooth Nashville studio production.

Tracklist Highlights:

• Side 1: Early Morning Sunshine, Late Great Lover, I’m Not Blaming You, Another Day Has Gone By, Thanks, But No Thanks, Thanks To You, Quiet Shadows

• Side 2: Too Many Places, You Say It’s Over, Put A Little Rainbow In Your Pocket, Seventeen Years, The Chair

Housed in its iconic original Columbia cover—featuring Robbins sitting on his iconic #42 stock car—and complete with extensive back-cover liner notes by Stereo Review contributing editor Noel Coppage, this LP is an essential addition for Marty Robbins collectors, 1970s country archivists, and vintage vinyl enthusiasts.
