This album was issued around the time
Marty Robbins ended his longtime association with Columbia Records, though as it turned out he'd come back in just a few years. Whether for that reason or something else, it seems like a patched-together afterthought that's hardly the way to appreciate
Robbins at his best, or even his most characteristic. Although the title track of
I've Got a Woman's Love was a small country hit, it and much of the surrounding material were middle-of-the-road early-'70s country. Even those with a taste for that style might find the ode to his ten-year-old daughter, "Janet," too sentimental to bear. Also included were popular standards like "Misty" and "It Had to Be You" that had nothing to do with country in content or arrangement, with lush settings that might have been good vehicles for
Marty to get his
Frank Sinatra aspirations out of his system, but weren't useful for anything else. Some of the tracks (like "The Best Part of Living," "The City," "At Times," "A Little Spot in Heaven," and "Gone with the Wind") had already appeared on early-'70s singles, doing their part to raise suspicions that the LP had been put together with whatever Columbia had at hand in the wake of his departure from the company.
