I grew up in Brooklyn listening to the Shangri-Las and Four Seasons. I didn't know anything about country music. Except for "El Paso" by Marty Robbins. For me it embodied the romanticism of The West. I couldn't wait to get to Texas. So I hitch-hiked there from Brooklyn.

I have three 2-disc sets of Marty Robbins greatest all-time hits, THE ESSENTIAL MARTY ROBBINS. Send me an email (downwithtyranny@aol.com) and tell me your favorite country song and why. Best 3 answers get the Robbins collections
