I could faintly hear some striking music id never heard before wafting out of the hot rod. I says "hey man! Who's that playing?"...."Marty Robbins".

      @@damienirvin95 That is so false that it isn't even funny. It's weird how engineers recording shows tend to use field recorders. I seriously can't believe you tried to sound informed and then followed it up by saying the recording device doesn't matter. I mean, all of the shows I recorded on my wax cylinders came through just fine. Give me a break. Just from being around a lot of bands, the vocals should be up in the mix, not the other way around. A muddy mix would have come through just as muddy on the iphone due to it's excellent sound capture.

    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 amongst 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 twenty four
    And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more
    One and nineteen 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
    Twenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a slip
    Twenty one 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 twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
    Folks were watching from their windows every-body held their breath
    They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
    About to meet his death
    There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
    And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day
    Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
    And the rangers 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 gone 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 The Big Iron on his hip

    This band took the original songs integrity seriously. Amazing how good both versions are.

    His vocals just get sweeter and sweeter. Great control. Turning into one of the most talented crooners our country has ever been fortunate enough to lay claim too in my opinion. He reminds me a lot of Merle Haggard. His vocals were far sweeter than most people gave him credit for if you ever did a deep dive on him and listened closely.

    I'm blown away by the audio mix on this! I've got a bum ear, and most live performances I can't distinguish much even if I'm there in-person

      New Vegas is a great game but I know this song from an old Marty Robbins CD that my dad had when I was little boy. One of my all time favorite tunes.

    Cool, he plays without a pick, like I do 99% of the time. My niece and nephews play the same way, I don't know of many others who do. Great version of a classic!
