I'll never forget the day I was sitting in my college dorm studying and listening to some country station on a little clock radio when they announced Marty had died. That was over 40 years ago. So glad his legacy lives on and his work is being honored and interpreted by this younger generation.
@@jimmarrer Just because they don't have the success of The Beatles, or the amount of songs they've written, doesn't mean Josh & Carson cannot function and perform with the same alchimy and musical collusion that John & Paul had together, back then. You should be proud, if you worship The Beatles, that much, that those two young blokes have been heavily influenced by them, have tributed their songs and legacy, and launched them on the path of being musician and compose their own songs themselves, which are by the way pretty good. Your comment seems very condescending I'm afraid.
I wonder if the two of you truly know how awesome it is to see and hear you fellas playing together again... I have really missed to frequent videos of The Other Favorites. I know you both have your schedules but dang, this is so good!
Makes sense that the Other Favorites had to give way while Josh is recording/touring with the Bygones, but hopefully not forever. Good to see you guys together again.
I was a teenager when this was released. I bought the album and would close the door to my tiny bedroom and play it at night when falling asleep. I still have that prized vinyl. Nice job guys.
Josh and Carson, I’ve been listening to you both for years and the two of you are my favorite duo of all time. You remind me of me and my buddy when we played acoustic shows in college. I’m always very excited to see your new releases. Your interpretations of songs, old and new, are always exceptional and often better than the originals.
LYRICS: To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was early in the morning when he rode into the town He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24 And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more One and 19 more Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red After Texas Red Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead 20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip 21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death About to meet his death There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip Big iron, big iron When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip
The virtuosity from Josh, the utter precision, the startling invention, the absolute certainty, is breath-taking. The whole pressed into service by such perfect judgement of tempo. The song is driven, driven, driven forward without ever losing a sense of its musicality. Or its meaning. Carson meanwhile sings with flawless judgement. What a supreme delight.
You and your friends are absolutely the best! My husband is 67 years old how do you make him get up and dance in the living room every morning! Thank you for your beautiful music love his wife Peggy!
Although Carson or Josh collaborations with others are great, there's few that compare to Carson and Josh together. Growing and nurturing their skills and talents together since their teens creates a synergy in their music which is so appealing, unique and joyful. There's nothing that compares to The Other Favorites.
I came over by a link to listen to Big Iron from Tipper’s blog “Blind Pig and The Acorn”. She and her husband Matt are fans of your channel. She said you were great singer Josh and with Carson y’all did an awesome version of Big Iron, and she was right! Great job!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Marty Robbins "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" 1959. Way beyond classic album. You guys just honored Marty with this wonderful performance. Thank you so much!😊👍
I'm also a Law Enforcer, and I'm watching this vídeo right now in my cruiser with a big Iron on my hip! So emotional for me! Awesome rendition, Josh is the best musician on RUclips
You guys are my favorites. You've got something really special. A perfect combination. Of all the people you perform with, Josh, you and Carson are just the best!!!
@@tangyorange6509 Right! I grew up in the 70's on good ol' Rock'n'Roll but my parents had the Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs album. It's a classic and got heavy airplay at home... great memories!
Carson's back! It is always very special when Josh and Carson get together. They should do it more often. Superb rendition of a Marty Robbins classic. As Carson says, "big iron energy" ;-)
Superb! I’m not sure if it’s deliberate or coincidental timing but with the recent release of the Fallout TV series I’ve been revisiting a lot of music featured in those games, including this track. So many gems!
So cool to see all of the solo / embellishments on Josh’s parts. My wife and I listen to a ton of Marty Robbins and I’m always blown away at how busy the guitar tracks are under the vocals. A lot going on!! Impressive. Great playing guys.
Hey Josh and Carson, that was a great cover, you guys are fantastic together, with such a dynamic. We’ve all missed ‘The Other Favourites ‘ so much and also with you getting together with Elle and Toni. Thank you for brightening our day once more !! 😀🙋🏼♂️
Man, you guys have really changed and influenced my taste in music, and even my own writing of it based on the songs you've introduced me to. I've known this song for a while of course, but other ones - I just listen to anything you guys play, because they're nothing but bangers. I trust your taste in music and you guys have gotten me into Americana in a way I never was before. Thank you guys for so many years of incredible songs

It's nice to see you together again. I have missed The Other Favorites.
Idem
Came here to comment exactly this
@@imaginado4534 Me too!
me too! you guys are good together!
Darn, I wanted to be the first to say it
It feels soooo good to see Josh and Carson together again. There is a chemistry between them that just feels good on my soul.
Their voices meld so well. Both are very skilled, on the the guitars as well
I fully agree
You are not alone.
Yep, and Carson has toned down the facial contortions. Makes it easier to concentrate on his wonderfully sonorous voice. Fabulous.
Carson has the golden voice!
Yes yes indeed and together with Josh it's a can't miss !
Simply outstanding!
A whole western movie in one song. Epic Marty Robbin’s tune.
Marty would be proud!!
So true, and well-said.
@@davebrown8853 i’ve listened to this song my whole life, and I never get tired of picturing the scenes in my head, like a movie.
I was thinking basically the same thing.
I'll never forget the day I was sitting in my college dorm studying and listening to some country station on a little clock radio when they announced Marty had died. That was over 40 years ago. So glad his legacy lives on and his work is being honored and interpreted by this younger generation.
Josh and Carson brought a big iron and killed this song!!
Always a joy to play, man, especially when the iron is THIS big 🤝
More please! 🥰
Big Iron energy.
El Paso, please. It’s more bigger!
Hell yea, Carson and Josh reunite, it's like having John And Paul together!
john and paul were original thinkers not imitaters.some people read books,some people write books...big difference.
@@jimmarrer Just because they don't have the success of The Beatles, or the amount of songs they've written, doesn't mean Josh & Carson cannot function and perform with the same alchimy and musical collusion that John & Paul had together, back then.

@@jimmarrer Josh and Carson are older than John and Paul were when they split up
WE GETTIN OUTA GOODSPRINGS WITH THIS ONE! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Playing through new vegas right now! I think we need a jingle jangle cover next with the bygones 😂
XDDDD
I'd give all the caps in New Vegas for a soundtrack reinterpretation
Pardon me while I watch this a thousand more times...
MARTY ROBBINS WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF YOU YOUNG MEN ..DOING JUSTICE TO HIS SONG !
It's always magic when you two get back together. I love how much your friendship shines through the music as much as your talents do.
we don`t know when this was recorded.
you guys were born to do this together. it`s nice of you to share this one. hope all is well
Josh’s guitar artistry never fails to amaze and entertain.
Nice to see Carson back
These two young men are extremely talented and I thoroughly enjoy listening to them!
Classic Josh and Carson. We love you guys :)
Good to hear Carson’s voice again 🙂
Josh and Carson...Grady Martin and Marty Robbins would be proud.
Robin Grady went uncredited but was the third man on the song.
This is what I’m talking about! You two together are 100% my jam.
I wonder if the two of you truly know how awesome it is to see and hear you fellas playing together again... I have really missed to frequent videos of The Other Favorites. I know you both have your schedules but dang, this is so good!
Carson Marty would be proud. Killer.
Fabulous! The good thing is: there is a plethora of fun songs like this that can keep you two busy for years! Us 60+ year olds would appreciate it.
Real instruments, real voices. What a treat! Thank you :)
Quality. A rare commodity these days. You guys always deliver in spades.
Carson's rich bass voice. Josh's harmonies and finger work. Jeebus. AMAZING! Thank you!
Always a nice afternoon when the other favourites reunite for the odd video!
Wow! You create magic with two guitars and two voices!
The depth and tone of Carson's voice is beautiful.
I concur. This is in his wheel house.
You sure can play that guitar 😎
Looks like the boys are back in town! More please.
These two voices together, it’s magic.
You guys have magic together.... don't ever give that up!! .... great job!!
Makes sense that the Other Favorites had to give way while Josh is recording/touring with the Bygones, but hopefully not forever. Good to see you guys together again.
Classic duo making history right there , love it
Awesome, you guys are missed so much! And so are your performances as a foursome, that is Josh, Elle, Carson and Toni).😢
I was a teenager when this was released. I bought the album and would close the door to my tiny bedroom and play it at night when falling asleep. I still have that prized vinyl. Nice job guys.

Just what I needed. I’ll bet there’s more songs about outlaws than there were outlaws. 👏👏👏👏
So good to see, and hear, Carson again.
You guys are great together.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter…

Man that hit
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter…
This song coming on right after you get the ranger sequoia was a great feeling
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
I'd love an album of you guys doing nothing but these classics. Just two voices and two guitars.
The other favourites are back again. Hooray!!!!
Oh man, my favourite country song, covered by my favourite other favorites. A treat.
Just bought tickets for the Bygones in Amsterdam (October). A surprise appearance from Carson would be very much appreciated😉
I was thinking the same about the Denver gig.
Guitar slinging at its best! Just what I needed this morning. Your all’s attention to detail is worth mentioning. Dynamics and musicality.
It is good to see both of you together again. It has been a while.
My mother in laws favorite singer. God rest her soul!
It's a pleasure to see this guys together again!!!! We need more OTHER FAVOURITES!!!!!
Big spruce soundboxes on their hip !! Excellent performance and storytelling!!
I've missed you guys playing together. love to see it. Hoping there's a new album around the corner when your schedules clear a bit!
Ya'll, this was SOOO GOOD!
My Dad would sing this song time and time again. Thanks for reviving the memory!
it's good to see a younger generation doing some of the great old story songs!
LYRICS:
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 more
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip
21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Big iron, big iron
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Nice to see you guys back together again. This sounds amazing
Josh's stratospheric guitar and Carson's fantastic voice are an absolute guarantee! Exceptional as only they can be!
The virtuosity from Josh, the utter precision, the startling invention, the absolute certainty, is breath-taking. The whole pressed into service by such perfect judgement of tempo. The song is driven, driven, driven forward without ever losing a sense of its musicality. Or its meaning. Carson meanwhile sings with flawless judgement. What a supreme delight.
Its about gosh darned time!
You and your friends are absolutely the best! My husband is 67 years old how do you make him get up and dance in the living room every morning! Thank you for your beautiful music love his wife Peggy!
Although Carson or Josh collaborations with others are great, there's few that compare to Carson and Josh together.

There's nothing that compares to The Other Favorites.
Wow! I’m not a huge country music fan, but I really enjoyed this.
That was great! So good to hear you two singing and playing together again.
Remember when these two were in Jr. High… incredible then… incredible now…
Unreal chemistry. Carson your singing is just incredible. Love ya both

That tone shift at 3:10 was great
Fantastic guys!! So glad to see y’all back together. Carson, your voice just gets better and better. You sounded amazing.
Thanks guys ❤
I'm also a Law Enforcer, and I'm watching this vídeo right now in my cruiser with a big Iron on my hip! So emotional for me! Awesome rendition, Josh is the best musician on RUclips
One of my favorite Fallout New Vegas songs! Great version!
Great singing along with a smokier lead on the acoustic. First rate!
Nice to see the boys back together!
Josh Turner - Fantastic!...... Carson Mckee - Fantastic!........ Josh Turner + Carson Mckee - PHENOMENAL!!!!!
Big iron energy in this unforgettable duo !!
Couldn’t click on this fast enough. Phenomenal work as usual, gentlemen.
Big Iron energy for sure.
Well done, lads!

OUTSTANDING!!! My 17 yr old g’son loves this song… just PHENOMENAL!!!
So much fun! Brings back memories of car trips and Marty Robbin’s on the radio. Thank you to “The Other Favorites “!
Wow, just wow! Marty Robbins would be flattered.
Omg, this is clear off the charts super freaking great!!! Thanks guys. Made my day with this classic Marty Robbins tune. Cheers. ~ Mark
You fellers kill it every time. 👍🏼

You two are great musicians and singers but when you are together it’s magic
Fantastic job guys

Liked this before the video even started playing. 💓💓💓
