*History of the Big Iron* --- The "Big Iron" that inspired this song was originally built by Andy Anderson (a Hollywood gun-maker and fast-draw holster-maker favored by Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood) in his Gunfighter shop, using parts from several models. The gun was constructed with a Great Western frame and a 12" barrel made from an 1892 Winchester center-fire .44 rifle/carbine barrel. Since Anderson was 6'4" with large hands, he favored Colt 1860 Army grips and so fixed a grip frame from an 1860 Army pistol and added a Great Western cylinder chambered for .44 Magnum loads. Marty Robbins was in the shop on the day the finished gun was sold. The purchaser, also a very large man, impressed Marty by the speed of his fast draw. One week later, Anderson received in the mail a recording of "Big Iron," which Marty had written immediately after seeing the gun demonstrated. The song "Big Iron" was first released to the public on the _Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs_ album in September 1959, then as a single in February 1960. Today, the gun which so inspired Robbins resides in a private collection (cf. Fast Draw Resource Center). Ronny Robbins continues his father's musical legacy with style. His own rich vocals and songwriting gifts draw full attention from every audience. Play on, gentlemen. Play on. 🎵💖🎵
This is peak of music modern music just kinda sucks I am sitting in my bubble listening to 50s country 30s jazz 90s rock 60s pop old times I never lived in had better soundtrack than present day.
I walked many miles of the Mojave and got into many fights while listening to this song. Still enjoy listening to it
So many kills so many wounds so many many memories
I want more country songs like this. Not the pop they call country today.
Ronny inherited a great voice!! Love the song and his singing it.
I love how everyone is basically on the edge of their seats by the end of the song because it is such a good story.
Have been a big fan of Marty for many years, had no idea he had a son! Ronny is so much like him, great song.
He does his dad proud !
Sung this song in my sophomore year in high school for a talent show wound up getting 1st place and the prize was 500dollars
My old man was a radio DJ in the 70's and had the opportunity to interview Marty. He said he was the nicest guy around.
He sounds so much like his father! Unreal 😮
Great singer with a wonderful voice. I loved hearing his Dad Marty.
Now THIS is country music
Saw his dad perform this at a state fair . He was joking around and sang ”with a big orange on his lip”... We all laughed
Sounds pretty close the Marty. Nice to hear this song again.
Fantastic performance.
I don;t know why Ronnie Robbins doesn't have several CDs. Great voice and looks like he loves singing.
fabulous song...brings me to tears just like all Marty songs...you do your daddy proud mate🖤
Thank you Ronnie you sound so much like your dad. God Bless you
Awesome rendition of his daddy’s song.
Man can he sing ❤❤
This has always been one of my favorites!
I love this song ❤️🥰
In my FONV blind playthrough in 2010, this was the first song I heard on my Pip-Boy. Been my favourite song in the game ever since.
Fantastic voice.
I like the performance, very smooth and captivating.
A Great Talent Just Like His Daddy! 👏👍💖🙋♀️🇨🇱

Simple don't fight unless you have to
This is peak of music modern music just kinda sucks I am sitting in my bubble listening to 50s country 30s jazz 90s rock 60s pop old times I never lived in had better soundtrack than present day.
Ronnie chose the ministry instead a music career but he sings quite well
No Marty but did a great job all the same.
Not the depth of his dad's voice, but a worthy effort.
For sure auto tuned unfortunately
