I had to look it up to learn the story of Big Iron. Thanks for posting the song, Armyscout; I enjoyed it. And thanks, Dutch, for suggesting that there was history behind it.

Very good. Thks. For anyone who likes western music check out Don Edwards. He's a cowboy balladeer and his stuff is very authentic. Usually just him and his guitar. He sings lots of the classic old time cowboy tunes that tell stories.

I'm generally a hard-rocker (product of the '80s), but I love Marty Robbins. My mom was a huge fan of his and that "Gunfighter Ballads" album was often plugged into the 8-track player in her lipstick-red 1976 T-Bird whenever we went anywhere. My brother got it on CD for me for Christmas a couple years back. Brings back a lot of good memories.
