At an after gig bar, Charlie Parker selected a country song on the juke box. A fellow musician asked Charlie, "Why do you listen to that country music?" Charlie replied, " it's the stories."
Others have already mentioned the follow-on song "Felina", then capped off by "El Paso City." But another great MR song is "Big Iron" about an Arizona Ranger hunting an outlaw. Marty's grandfather was a Texas Ranger and told him a lot of stories as he was growing up that helped him shape his ideas of the old west. In the song "Big Iron" Marty made it about the Arizona Rangers, who started service in 1901. Marty found an actual "Big Iron" .45 Colt revolver that had a cut-down rifle barrel on it in a gun shop and bought it. He pieced together the song and I hope you can get to it.
@@ginnywithag5046 I'll back this G up right here 🤙💯! I ended up seeing old, Old Roy Rogers stuff, like 2nd, 3rd generation of Country (& Western) after Marty introduced me to Sons of the Pioneers!
@@scottcarr8738 If you like movies as that, you might want to watch some of the Gene Autry's movies. He's mostly known today, for "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer." If you like any Western or Western Swing feel to your C&W Music, then give a bit of listening time to "Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys." My Father, he had to have one of Bob Wills biggest fans EVER!!! Bob played around where my Dad grow up at. As a teen, I worked with an older lady, that her husband and her, they were real good friends with Bob. Any time he was within 20 miles from them, if possible, he would be coming for a visit to them! She made sure it was a visit and sharing a meal. My Top Two Favorites of their's is the instrumental, "Orange Blossom Special" ...( it being as a train moving down the tracks ), and of a vocal, is with Tommy Ducan singing, "Faded Love." He caused that song to become a classic! 🥰 You can really imagine a Cowpoke out on his horse looking up at the night's sky, while he's watching over a herd of Cattle, in hearing, "as heaven would miss the stars above." I love my share of getting to go to some good Rodeos, too. 👢 🤠🐴
I'm 61 years old. When I was young I was in love with Marty Robbins. I got to see him live at McCormack Place in Chicago with my parents in the early 70's. I'll never forget that.
More great Marty Robbins songs. First echoing that this is first part part of a trilogy followed by Fellena and El Paso City. - The Master’s Call - Devil Woman - My Woman, My Woman, My Wife - The Story of My Life - Big Iron - You Gave Me a Mountain - The Hanging Tree - Ribbon of Darkness - The Cowboy in the Continental Suit - Mr. Shorty - Return to Me
Marty was a country music star, an actor and a NASCAR race car driver. Under achiever. : ) He followed the success of El Paso with two more songs to complete the tale.
Marty Robbins was the first concert I ever watched, back in ... well, way back when. He's always been one of my favorites. There is a video of his story on UA-cam. In addition to recording the best cowboy ballads and trail songs, he's done recordings of country music, love songs, rockabilly, gospel, and Hawaiian music, and more. He acted in and produced a TV series and acted in a few movies. He was also a successfull NASCAR race care driver. The Faleena trilogy is classic but it's really hard to pick favorites. If you are interested in more Marty Robbins, I suggest 'The Battle of the Alamo'.
A long time ago it was classified as country and western music. Marty Robbins was definitely on the western side of that. Great songs by one of the best storytellers ever.
Marty wrote this song.. haunting harmonies by vocalists Bobby Sykes and Jim Glaser (of the Glaser Brothers) and the eloquent and varied Spanish guitar accompaniment by Grady Martin that lends the recording a distinctive Tex-Mex feel. The name of the character Feleena was based upon a schoolmate of Robbins in the fifth grade, Fidelina Martinez.
I will be 70 years old on June the first and I have been listening to Marty Robbins for 70 years. What I love about this program cuz I know all the songs per beat them and that your reactions are right on. Downright cool man.
One of the few reactors I’ve seen catch the “horse thief” angle of this song. Most people don’t catch that, proves you’re paying attention! Listen to the other two songs, you won’t be disappointed.
Great artist to listen to. Everyone else is talking about Marty and he deserves it, but I’d also like to mention Tom Russell and his song “Tonight We Ride”.
YES! That's the one that slipped my mind earlier, I was think of it and how it goes higher. It's a great song! Then again, we're talking about one of the Greatest!
I got to see Marty in November of 1982, the month before he died. He has so many songs that aren't western themed. My Woman, My Wife. You Gave Me A Mountain. Don't Worry. Devil Woman. One Window Four Walls. The Wine Flowed Freely. I started listening to him in the mid fifties and he was always a favorite.
As a little kid I was captivated by this album "Gun Fighter Ballads", that I found in my father's collection. Every song is a captivating story. Decades later I thought I was introducing this song to my girlfriend, who was a city girl from Seattle. I was blown away when she started to sing along to every word. We've been married for 18 years now.
This reaction is fantastic. My mother (b. 1936) loved this song. I never even thought about the killing and horse thievery. I just remember my dancing around the house to this song. He's totally obsessed. If you're liking country music listen to the podcast Coc@ine and Rhinestones.
This song was written on a train while traveling through El Paso TX. A friend playfully suggested to Marty about writing a song about El Paso. He actually wrote the song on the train.
MrLBoyd, the next song "Felina" will definitely answer your questions ;) . The 3rd song "El Paso City" is the icing on the well-baked cake :D. My family were all fans of Marty, from my grand-parents all the way down to my younger cousins. The man was a true storyteller in every fashion. You were right about the song having the feel of something from a western movie, Marty's songs appeared in quite a few back in the day.
Marty Robbins is a true legend. He could tell a story like nobody else. Somebody else on here mentioned My Woman My Wife, which is heart wrenching, but I would also add Big Iron. Marty was great at the Western Ballads and he had a truly sorrowful voice that could tear your heart out.
When this came out I was a teen, and this was a sure guarantee for myself and my girlfriends to burst into tears. Marty Robbins was a master storyteller. R.I.P. Marty
@@cheryla7480 I’m gen z but I deeply appreciate the music from your generation. Way better than the stuff on the radio. Pretty cool you got to experience it first hand 😊
By far Marty robbins’ most famous and well-loved song. Good place to start. This song actually has a sequel, though I don’t know its name. His other most popular song is called Big Iron, and you should definitely check that one out.
It describes every detail of his love, esc,his horse stealing ,getting out of town ..his return ,the gunmen & how many !! Good gracious the detail !!! It's like watching it mentally ,in your mind . fantastic !! Song !!
Huge hit song. A sad and wonderful cowboy story. Great stuff. I remember when this came out. Every kid and their dad would sit down next to the radio, or record player and listen to this Haunting cowboy Ballad.
Marty Robbins LP “Gunfighter Tales & Trail Songs” is a great LP. The LP front cover is a classic. “Big Iron” from the same LP would be a good follow up.
Great Reaction Sir!! I'd like to share with you a Legendary fact about Mr. Robbins, that to my knowledge, has not been duplicated to this day. Marty held the Titles of Country Music Entertainer of the year, and the Winston Cup Champion for Nascar, the same year!! The exact year escapes me. Early 70's I believe. I'd say that's pretty Legendary!!
Marty Robbins' song "Don't Worry" was historically significant, because I believe it was the first recorded song with a "fuzz" type of an effect. Which lead to the sound in rock.. It happened accidentally when one of the tubes in an amp had blown. Marty liked the sound so much that he kept it in. There's a upload of him performing the song on an old live show, and another old country music artist gives a few brief details about it before the performance. A couple of years ago, I discovered Marty had a son who looks and sounds almost exactly like him. Even has the same facial mannerisms. I first watched a video where he was 16, and he literally carried Marty out and they performed a song together. Then I watched a video of him when he was maybe in his 30's, performing a medley of Marty Robbins songs a couple of years after his passing. Then I saw a more recent video of him performing this song on Country Crossroads, I think. So it was weird for me to finally discover him, after growing up on his dad's music, and chronologically watching him age through life before my eyes in a matter of minutes.
Marty Robbin’s was a fantastic singer/songwriter. He was also a NASCAR driver who saved Richard Childress’ life by hitting a wall on purpose. His absolutely best song was “My Woman, My Woman, My Wife” for which he won a Grammy.
Marty was my favorite singer of all time. He wrote a lot of great western songs, but he also wrote other songs like "Begging to You" and "Don't Worry", two of my favorites.
I'm so glad you reacted to this. The story song that defines all western story songs that would follow. Next on the list should be Devil Woman or Big Iron.
If you wanted to see an action movie clip to this song, check out the video featuring Steve Martin as the main character. I guarantee you'll get a giggle out of it without damaging the story
Marty Robbins was known for his western-themed story-telling ballads. Nobody did them better. As a side note, his music has gained fame in another way among a totally different audience. In the computer game Fallout 3: New Vegas, there is a DJ who plays western music over a scratchy, post-apocalyptic radio channel. His song "Big Iron" is featured and is another example of his story-telling ability.
In this live version, more than 20 years since the song was originally recorded, a couple of lines were added to bring some more detail right after the shooting of the suitor.
There is a trilogy of songs he wrote about El Paso. A place I know well.! In fact I remember the air play when this song first came out. I took notice of your first observations but as it turned out she cared very much for story teller. As you discover at the end. And yes they killed him for stealing a horse. He was perfectly entitled to defend himself from the other man. And of couse Feleena did love him.
I was only about 5 or 6 years old when I first remember hearing this on the country station my dad always played on the radio. Even at that tender age it infuriated me. I thought WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING? FORGET THAT WOMAN!! This was the same period in history when JFK got shot and we were being instructed how to "duck and cover" at elementary school in the event of a Russian Nuclear attack. It is amazing I'm not a bigger neurotic mess than I am. Thanks Mr. Robbins for your contribution. I really needed that.
You really should watch 'Faleena' for her side of the story. I believe you'll be surprised. Then, of course, 'El Paso City' to finish the trilogy. Another one I'd highly recommend to you is 'Big Iron'.
If you like Marty Robbins, you should really listen to "They're Hanging Me Tonight", it's an amazing and sad song but, is very peaceful to listen to at the same time. highly recommended!

Yeah, this song is definitely an interesting story. But, since it is a trilogy, you HAVE to listen to the next two, "Faleena" and "El Paso City"!!
Pretty much anything off of his classic album 'Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs' is a go. 'Big Iron' or 'They're Hangin' Me Tonight' for starters.
or cowboy in continental suit.

- My Woman, My Woman, My Wife
- The Story of My Life
- Big Iron
- You Gave Me a Mountain
- The Hanging Tree
- Ribbon of Darkness

Big Iron...Big Iron...Big Iron. The next three you can check out
I recommend that you check out some of Johnny Horton's songs ... Battle of New Orleans .. The Alamo .. Sink the Bismark ....
A long time ago it was classified as country and western music. Marty Robbins was definitely on the western side of that. Great songs by one of the best storytellers ever.
you can't do ol Marty without doing BIG IRON
Big Iron. Devil Woman. The Girl With Gardenias in Her Hair. Feleena. Mr. Shorty. Marty Robbins has *so* much good stuff to look through.
Marty wrote this song.. haunting harmonies by vocalists Bobby Sykes and Jim Glaser (of the Glaser Brothers) and the eloquent and varied Spanish guitar accompaniment by Grady Martin that lends the recording a distinctive Tex-Mex feel.

Agreed - killing in (misguided) passion is one thing, but thieving horses will get you hung.
That was impressive. Mr Lloyd is good at these reactions. One of the best
Marty Robbins is one of the best country singers in history.
Marty's voice is so great. You should try Devil Woman and My Woman, My Woman, My Wife.
Great artist to listen to. Everyone else is talking about Marty and he deserves it, but I’d also like to mention Tom Russell and his song “Tonight We Ride”.
I remember this song when it came out on the radio in 1959. I was 4. I remember singing and dancing to it.
He was one of my Daddys favorites. Awesome singer. Passed pretty young
One of the great story tellers.
He has so many great songs Big Iron, My Woman My Woman My Wife, White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation but my favorite is Laredo it's a beautiful song
And also Don't worry about me. Great song
YES! That's the one that slipped my mind earlier, I was think of it and how it goes higher. It's a great song! Then again, we're talking about one of the Greatest!
I Love Him!! Thank You so very much!!! More and More......he's amazing! :)
All my fellow New Vegas fans are excited right now

Another song that is an interesting story, Johnny Horton - When It's Springtime in Alaska.
I Love anything Marty Robbins........... He was a Man's Man!!!! Yes, I had a crush. He could sing anything
Marty Robbins was an insanely good guitarist. I like the studio cuts much better because you get to hear that guitar work come out more clearly.
This reaction is fantastic. My mother (b. 1936) loved this song. I never even thought about the killing and horse thievery. I just remember my dancing around the house to this song. He's totally obsessed. If you're liking country music listen to the podcast Coc@ine and Rhinestones.

It's like watching it mentally ,in your mind . fantastic !! Song !!
My father's favorite. He died young in 1990. Thanks for posting
As others have said. Felina is next song in the trilogy... amazing song from her point of view. The last song in the trilogy being Elpaso City.
It was self defence, the handsome young stranger went for his gun first.
I always felt that way also, but he did steal a horse, so....
Huge hit song. A sad and wonderful cowboy story. Great stuff. I remember when this came out. Every kid and their dad would sit down next to the radio, or record player and listen to this Haunting cowboy Ballad.
I like Singing the blues he yodels slightly in it and a White Sports coat… Daddy always played that song and we would dance across the room!
Velvet voice Marty Robbins. Miss him!
This is part of a trilogy. Feleena Part 2 El Paso City Part 3. also do "Cool Water". then "Big Iron"
Marty is a great story teller.
Marty Robbins LP “Gunfighter Tales & Trail Songs” is a great LP. The LP front cover is a classic. “Big Iron” from the same LP would be a good follow up.
Still one of the best collections of songs in history period, Top 10 Country for sure.

And here in el paso we really do have Rosa's cantina.
such a cool song. big iron time.
Big Iron is another good one if you're in the market
This song was rated the number #1 song for country/western for the 1950 to1999 period.
Also give "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" a listen. Beautiful song!
One of my all time favorites! Grew up listening to this with my father and it still gives me chills
Another Great Marty Robins songs BIG IRON
I love storytelling songs too. Marty Robbins song Big iron is a great one also.
My 4th grade teacher would bring his guitar to school and play this for us. We’d never seen such talent.
One of the best voices ever recorded! 👍❤️
Almost forgot! Also MR was also a highly regarded NASCAR driver!
If you wanted to see an action movie clip to this song, check out the video featuring Steve Martin as the main character. I guarantee you'll get a giggle out of it without damaging the story
He has a ton of great story type songs. "Big Iron" is another in this vein. For a similar song try "Cross the Brazos at Waco".

The day I was born, this was the #1 song in the nation.
In this live version, more than 20 years since the song was originally recorded, a couple of lines were added to bring some more detail right after the shooting of the suitor.
The Masters call. A must!!!
There is a trilogy of songs he wrote about El Paso. A place I know well.! In fact I remember the air play when this song first came out.
I took notice of your first observations but as it turned out she cared very much for story teller. As you discover at the end. And yes they killed him for stealing a horse. He was perfectly entitled to defend himself from the other man. And of couse Feleena did love him.
I went to college in the Badlands of New Mexico.
@@mikematusek4233 Las Cruces??
@@Gort-Marvin0Martian Graduated from there in 1985, and often went to El Paso. I also Grew up in Marty's Home Town, Glendale, AZ.
@@mikematusek4233 That trilogy of songs is sooo good. He was an amazing writer/performer. Y'all be safe man.
Yeah, she loved him. The second song (Feleena) in the series explains everything.
I remember listening to this when I was a kid. I loved his voice, and I loved the story.
Id recommend checking out big iron also by marty robbins.
Marty is one of my all time favorites! Loved all the Gun fighter ballads especially Big Iron & Tall handsome Stranger!
Please check out Merle Haggard Impersonates Marty Robbins
You should check out the movie Honkytonk Man he did with Clint Eastwood. It’s awesome.
Glenn Campbell does this song on the Johnnie Cash show and is amazing. He does all of the guitar playing while singing the song.👍👍
I was only about 5 or 6 years old when I first remember hearing this on the country station my dad always played on the radio. Even at that tender age it infuriated me. I thought WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING? FORGET THAT WOMAN!!
This was the same period in history when JFK got shot and we were being instructed how to "duck and cover" at elementary school in the event of a Russian Nuclear attack. It is amazing I'm not a bigger neurotic mess than I am. Thanks Mr. Robbins for your contribution. I really needed that.
Horse stealing was punished by hanging because you are taking the only transportation a person had. It could mean life or death.
He was also a part time NASCAR driver. His cars were usually had pink as the dominent colour.
yes, she did love him, you have to listen to part 2 called "Fellina"
You really should watch 'Faleena' for her side of the story. I believe you'll be surprised. Then, of course, 'El Paso City' to finish the trilogy.
Another one I'd highly recommend to you is 'Big Iron'.
Has been so long since I heard this. Was great.
If you like Marty Robbins, you should really listen to "They're Hanging Me Tonight", it's an amazing and sad song but, is very peaceful to listen to at the same time. highly recommended!
Plz do some more of Merle Haggard, "Are the Good Times Really Over for Good',appropriate for now. Any Merle..'Big City', Lonesome Fugitive', etc
I was super happy to hear this song on the last episode of breaking bad(it was called Felina).
I grew up listening to Marty.
RIP MR ROBBINS
Someone request
Merle haggard... Branded man or Fugitive
Eric church... Lightning
