I was 6 and living in El Paso. I liked Marty Robins' songs, probably because they were simple and repetitive. Geoff improved this song a lot by adding his own sections between verses 2 & 3 of the original, verses 4 & 5 of the original, and the last 2 verses of the original. The cadence of Geoff's version reminds me very much of riding my horse in the desert especially heading back to the stable.
I agree, his tenor range is getting more and more beautiful. In addition, his composition skills are skyrocketing. He added 3 sections to this one, music and lyrics. I run out of superlatives when I talk about him. Can't wait for your reaction to Voiceplay's The Way You Make Me Feel.
I hang on baited breath for each new Geoff Castellucci song and then I can't wait to see your reaction Jen. You just brighten my day. Thanks for reacting.
The quintessential Western in country western music. Geoff reinvents every performance. In this case, he played with five different ranges in a song that was origiinally sung in smooth baritone. Marty Robbins was one of the greatest storytellers in American music, and he sang beautiful songs about gunplay. Probably would have a problem getting a record deal today.
This is the full version of an earlier short recorded by Geoff and is one of his most requested song covers. The original song was written and recorded by Marty Robbins (first released on his album, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs, in September 1959) and has been used in several video games, such as Red Dead Redemption 2, and Fallout: New Vegas. The clone lineup is, from left to right: Goff, Jeff, Geoff, Jeoph, and Daryl. Geoff wrote a new chorus for this song, beginning with "Big Iron, he's a stranger that rode into town one day," and ending with "and he'll keep on rolling 'til his life is gone." He also created the "movie" you see in the background of the video.
I always enjoy how Geoff's clones interact with each other - and with their environment. Keep your eyes on clone #1 as Geoff prime sings the first line - he not only is looking at the other clones, he turns around to check out the projection screen behind them!
I love this old song from Marty Robbins who wrote it and sang it in 1959. Geoff has really done a bang-up job. Brings back memories from 1962 for me. One of the things I love about Geoff's videos with the clones where he acknowleges each of them by looking at each of them as the song progresses.
The last sub was the same note as the one earlier but he made the last one sound more solid! He definitely has some of the best sub harmonics of any one on utube. Enjoyed the breakdown Jenn! This sounds like a blast from the past but I had never heard it before either! Low bass Kenneth
My reaction to your reaction is that you my dear enjoyed that very,very much...he took an old standard country western song and created a unique and very entertaining version ...his range is awesome...I believe if you had a smile meter on this video it would be pegged on max😃😃😃😃 ...that's what I like about music just when you think you know a song someone's mind comes up with a new spin...thanks for sharing this it brightened my Monday and I needed that...Karl from eastern Canada☮☮☮❤❤❤🎵🎵🎵
I hope you get a chance to check out Huldra's side-by-side of his version with the original! It really highlighted for me just how much he put into this between the lyrics and all of the harmonies. Also, that modulation that got you left me stunned speechless when I first heard it. Beautiful!
Marty Robbins --- that actor, story-telling country singer, and Nascar Driver; big success in all btw! Great cover --- and Geoff always brings it! Love it -- Thanks Jen ... Be Safe
I LIVE for you attempting to mimic Geoff. :) I'm convinced that you're going to learn full subharmonics at some point and just STUN the hell out of all of us one day. :)
I actually suggested this song on Geoff's patreon as I loved the song when I was little. His vocal range has improved so much and his low notes still shake my bones, but his high notes give me collywobbles. Love your reaction Jen
My dad used to play this song on a record he had with other "story songs" that Geoff has done, like Big John and 16 Tons. it's like Geoff is making an album of my dad's favorite songs. When he adds new stanzas like he did here, I'm always so excited. He takes a good story and expands it into something even MORE musical and MORE engaging for the listener. Truly a master of music arrangements.
Thanks!, I am a basso profundo, but you do a great job of breaking it all down. While I can analyze it for myself when I show these reactions my wife gets it from you, but not from me.. I am also an occtovist. You and Peter do the best analysis. So t h and you
I love that Geoff keeps giving older songs new life with his covers - Sixteen Tons, Big, Bad John and Don't Mess with Jim, for example. This one predates me, I think, as all I remembered was the name Texas Red and the phrase, "one and nineteen more...". I also learned quite a bit through your analysis, thank you :)
There is a reason there are 4 clones &1 original Geoff. In the work done to make this sound happen Geoff played 5 roles, i.e. arrangement,production editing and 2 others. 1 job for each Geoff,many hands make light work.
I can tell you really enjoy your work....the "NERD NERD NERD" moment made me chuckle a bit....It is nice to see the 'effects' Geoff has on several reactors....great reaction, as usual "Jen"....really do enjoy what you do.....>^^
For future videos like this Jen you could use the style of left - left middle - middle - middle right - right for which one you're describing. Ps sorry if anybody has already said this lol.
#GabrielHenrique thank you for the content provided! I recommend the talented Gabriel Henrique. In his voice STAND UP whit coral black to black. You can be sure, he is different
He is singing it the same way Marty Robbins sang it. His voice is just lower, but he is keeping Robbins' style. This song came out in the 1950's/60's. The only difference is Marty Robbins had women back singers, and not himself. Otherwise there is no difference.
"Holy moly" -- goodness, young lady, be careful of your language! LOL, love your Geoff reactions. You sound just like him when you go low. Well, sort of almost.... remotely close. Cheers!
"Big Iron" was written & released by Marty Robbins in 1959 & covered by some 28 different artists. I still prefer Marty Robbins' version/arrangement. That same year, Marty released "El Paso" which has been covered by some 86 artists. A couple of other hits that I like are "Devil Woman" (1962) covered by 63 artists & "A White Sports Coat" (1957) covered by 36 artists. I would really enjoy seeing your reaction to "El Paso"! I find it interesting the number of artists who have chosen to cover his works.
Geoff sure can make the queen of facial expressions earn her title! Loved this reaction young lady but we need to talk. It's evident that you have been playing hooky from your low note practices. To correct this you need to either skip recess while the other singers go out to play and stay inside and practice or stay after school and practice while the other singers go do whatever wild things do during their time off. 😂😂😂 Just kidding ( sort of ). Blessings!
This song came out when I was 5 years old in 1959. Geoff has blended new lyrics that have actually improved the song and made it his own. ❤❤❤ It.
I was 3. So wasn't listening to much music then. But I do like Marty Robbin's singing. The man could sing and tell a story.

Ah thank you!
When Geoff holds a note, it gives us a chance to hear the buttery beauty of his amazing voice.
Geoff(s) and Jen ... a superb combination 😊
Oh if only they were singing in the same track ....

What would be the point of singing the song the same as the original? Of course he adds to each/every song he does. He's amazing.
His voice never ceases to amaze and impress.

Geoff is the big Iron

If all the words Jen uses in her analysis videos, Pouting and Dipthong have become my favorites!
Hahah good!☺️

Always wonderful to see you analyse Geoff and Voiceplay's content!!
Again a fantastic reaction!! Always love your attempt of low notes and your facial expression!!😂😂 So much fun!!
Thank you ☺️
This is such a lovely creation with the gorgeous high harmonies.
Awesome analysis as always
Open your mouth and clear your throat while wiggling your big toe.... Yep. That's Geoff. His vocal chords are almost the same length as he is tall.
Nice for you to meet Goff, Jeff, Jeoph, and Daryl! They are Geoff's identical brothers that occasionally sing with him.

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Excited for this!
You have that octavist every now and then. Love it❤❤
😁

Again, Geoff Castelluci kills it. I just have no words.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
How the fk can you go so deep 😂 its actually puzzling to me !!
Marty Robbins --- that actor, story-telling country singer, and Nascar Driver; big success in all btw! Great cover --- and Geoff always brings it! Love it -- Thanks Jen ... Be Safe
Thank you for an awesome and informative reaction as usual👍
Geoff is so good at bridge building. He's added bridges to a few songs now, to make them less repetitive. Yes, that mourh shape makes a deeper sound.
I LIVE for you attempting to mimic Geoff. :)
I'm convinced that you're going to learn full subharmonics at some point and just STUN the hell out of all of us one day. :)
Impressive Jenn! Geoff is so amazing. Loved it Jenn!
Come on Voiceplay!!!!! Bring Jen in for a guest Collaboration!
I actually suggested this song on Geoff's patreon as I loved the song when I was little. His vocal range has improved so much and his low notes still shake my bones, but his high notes give me collywobbles. Love your reaction Jen
I will listen to almost any reaction to Geoff's songs! (There are reactors that I will not listen to...). You are a favorite!

Thank you very much ☺️
the fact that geoff can sustain those low notes for any length of time is incredible. this was a fantastic cover
Yay, Jen hitting low notes to Geoffs low notes, what can be better 😃❤
I liked when middle Geoff turned and looked at the Geoff this right. Thanks for another great reaction video.
I love that Geoff keeps giving older songs new life with his covers - Sixteen Tons, Big, Bad John and Don't Mess with Jim, for example. This one predates me, I think, as all I remembered was the name Texas Red and the phrase, "one and nineteen more...".
I also learned quite a bit through your analysis, thank you :)
Vocal doubling that Geoff uses from time to time, adds more depth and allows for some stereo widening in the mix. Adds more emphasis as well.
Looking forward to your Voiceplay review next weekend.
Great job Jen.

I like the expression "his BVs". I see a big sign with big letters on the streets: "Tonight at 9pm: Geoff & his BV's" 😂
Argh! Curse you lawn maintenance! I missed Jen and crew! Guess I'll have to pretend.
We won't tell anyone.
Thanks! Excellent , at least to musicians.
Thank you!
😇😇❤❤😇😇

I would love to hear your comments on Celine Dion’s Sining at the opening of the Olympics.

Holy...... Moley (oh Jen)

I wonder if he's going to create Big Iron brand T's...
I was hoping you would tell us what that last note is. Maybe it’s B0 but it feels lower to me
It's an E1
@@huldradraco thank you!
Marty Robbins sang Big Iron in 1959. Would love to hear your thoughts on him.
Now we need him to do Butcher Pete
He is singing it the same way Marty Robbins sang it. His voice is just lower, but he is keeping Robbins' style. This song came out in the 1950's/60's. The only difference is Marty Robbins had women back singers, and not himself. Otherwise there is no difference.

Was that a D1? Man, that's less that 17Hz over the lower threshold of human hearing.
