Marty Robbins had success on the rock charts in the late 1950’s; he had the first #1 pop record of the 1960’s with “El Paso.” But Marty was foremost a country singer. Several weeks earlier (11/16/68) this was his 13th chart-topper on that side. One of those 13, “Don’t Worry,” was perhaps the first use of guitar distortion on a record, albeit accidental. Studio picker Grady Martin had a tube blow out on his amp just before a solo. The producer liked the resulting sound and left it in.
