Marty Robbins singles chronology

"Don't Worry" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Marty Robbins. It was released in February 1961 as the third single from his compilation album More Greatest Hits. The song was Robbins' seventh number one on the country chart and stayed at number one for ten weeks.^[1] The single crossed over to the pop chart and was one of Marty Robbins' most successful crossover songs, peaking at number three on the Hot 100.^[2]

Background[]

The track has an early example of guitar distortion. Session guitarist Grady Martin, used a faulty channel in the mixing desk for his six-string bass, for the bridge section and brief reprise right at the end, to create a distorted fuzzy sound. Although Martin did not like the sound, Robbins' producer left the guitar track as it was.^[3]^[4]^[5] The sound was eventually reverse-engineered and developed into the Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone, manufactured by Gibson.
