@@robertleroyparker6383 First off, you know nothing about me, sir. I might recommend that you find a more fulfilling hobby than talking down to people on the internet.
After listening to his studio stuff, and his live stuff I think he has more in common with Johnny Cash then a gravelly baritone, I think he also sounds better live.
I was walking around town one day, passed by a local dude who drives a mean lookin hot rod sitting having a coffee at a gas station. 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". I proceeded to find and listen to that song...Big iron.... every day for a long time. Oh yea and Colter always kills it.
Saw him at the San Antonio rodeo, he was the only reason I went. I did not expect him to break out into Big Iron, and it was one of the best concert experiences I’ve had due to that.
I was at this show. He opened for the woods brothers. We came just for Colter, left after Colter’s set. Colter I dunno if you will read this, but that was the show where we begged for Bald Butte and the crowd started singing those lyrics a capella. Come back to California when you can tour again, PLEASE!!! You have major fans in this state.
So F**king amazing! Thank You! We have a back forty up in North Arizona, and we named it The Big Iron in honor of the Marty song, glad to hear that this song is still going! Cheers!
@@damienirvin777 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.

Colters my brother in laws cousin so i got to see him when he came to Buffalo NY and it was such a cool experience. Colter is one of the coolest guys i've ever met, and during COVID times i heard he's ranching somewhere in Arizona.
I like your kid. That's how I discovered Marty Robbins who lead me to Cash who led me to... you get the point. New Vegas started my love for old country.
Colter along with Sturgill, Margo Price, Chris Stapleton, etc are all part of the new outlaw movement. They’ve had it with the Nashville sound and they’re bringing country music back to its roots. I love it
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.
Agreed. Though it's almost as if he's changed his style now. As much as I love his new sound, I think I like his older sound more - his music around 2017. I love the outlaw-ish look he had, and the deep haunting vocals. Not only has his get-up changed, but his voice has as well. He still has killer songs and renditions, and I love everything he puts out, but I just prefer his younger days. I can't tell if it's intentional or not.
A slide solo in the middle and the decrescendo during the drama of the standoff. Colter knows how to do this music thing. Great song and great band. They had a super high quality version of this song on their “Austin City Limits” show but i cant find it on YT anymore
If he did an EP of murder ballads I would listen the crap outta that.
he has that camaro song he wrote
I would too
with 'Delias Gone' by Johnny Cash on it
Imagine:
Long Black Vail
Delia's Gone
Pancho and Lefty
They're hanging me tonight
Big Iron
Red Headed Stranger
Kate McCannon (stripped back version)
I'd love to hear him sing Little Sadie too
Can colter just do a cover of Marty Robbins' album Gunfighters and Trail songs? Like I'd drop money on that in a heartbeat
James Hagerman I would pay way too much money for that
I’ve said it before he might be our generations johnny cash
I'd settle for a single
Blow this shit up
Give my country music a listen on my profile
Wanna hear him play, "They're Hanging Me Tonight"
E Lowe Ohh absolutely!! Great suggestion!
Want him to do gunfighter ballads n trail songs front to back to be honest
Corb Lund does a great job on his new Cover My Tracks EP.
Ain’t I right would be pretty cool too
So good to see so many people with good taste for music in a single post 👏
Make ballads great again
Yes. The Dead South has done a great job at that already! We need more though.
1. Ballad of a law abiding sophisticate
2. Kate McCannon
What murder? It was a killing.
Listen to this up-and-comer!
Trigger by Adam Larson and Co.
More like western ballads
Have I died and gone to cowboy Heaven? This is fantastic.

@@robertleroyparker6383 welcome to the edgy zone
Robert leRoy Parker Jesus Christ, who pissed in your estrogen supplement bottle?
Damn, he did Marty Robbins proud
Mercenary Mike Johnny cash did too, should check that out but I’m sure you already have
Didn't he, though? Damn fine singer, Colter is.
@@lamardavis688 I have, I love every recording of this song! Anyone with balls big enough to do it, will do it right.
Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, and Tyler Childers could become the new Highwaymen. That's the timeline I want to live in.
Space Plant throw Jamey Johnson in as the fourth and elder and Wow.
@@davidsmith731 seeing tyler and sturgill next month. It would be my dream to have colter thrown on that stage. I've dreamt about it a plenty!
Colyer wall, white buffalo, and cody jinks. Id pay an absurd amount of money to see them perform together
Zach Bryan?
Amen 🙏
Id pay to have a studio version of this
After listening to his studio stuff, and his live stuff I think he has more in common with Johnny Cash then a gravelly baritone, I think he also sounds better live.
Props to the sound guy. This is VERY good audio for a live performance.
Hell yeah me too I saw him in concert in the beginning of August and when he played this it was so flipping amazing
its gonna be on his new upcoming album!
9.99 is all it’ll cost for a whole album coming up
This is the best thing ever. My favorite modern artist playing one of my favorite songs of all time.
Same
Ditto
Relatable
It looks like he was the opening act for someone, hell someone should be opening for him.
I was just at a show of his in July. It’s probably the same tour and he was the main act. Played an amazing set!
I know he used to open for the dead south but he definitely performs on his own now
He’s definitely the opener here, based on the covered drum set
FANTASTIC DRUMMER!
UPDATE: This cover will be on his new upcoming album out in August
I'm a fan of anyone who's a fan of Marty Robbins.
Colter Wall is a treasure to this world
I also love how the crowd knows their stuff and start cheering at the first line. They know they might be hearing history being made.
Marty's version came up on Pandora earlier this week and I thought to myself, "gee. I'd love to hear Colter sing this." ❤❤❤
Sure you did.
Cash’s version plays too
I was walking around town one day, passed by a local dude who drives a mean lookin hot rod sitting having a coffee at a gas station. 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". I proceeded to find and listen to that song...Big iron.... every day for a long time. Oh yea and Colter always kills it.
In my opinion this is the BEST cover of Big Iron I've heard.
Gunfight in goodsprings
If there ever was a man born to sing Big Iron, it's Colter Wall.
This is what our world has been needing
Saw him at the San Antonio rodeo, he was the only reason I went. I did not expect him to break out into Big Iron, and it was one of the best concert experiences I’ve had due to that.
I was at this show. He opened for the woods brothers. We came just for Colter, left after Colter’s set.

Bless colter wall for keeping country music alive and organic. Long live colter wall!!!!
He does Marty Robbins justice 🙏
Colter is our newest country legend and that’s just the way it is.
The cover I didn’t think I needed the cover I can no longer live without
Literally every song he does sounds phenomenal.. I don’t get it!
Give my country music a listen on my profile!
I do
He s the man
So F**king amazing! Thank You! We have a back forty up in North Arizona, and we named it The Big Iron in honor of the Marty song, glad to hear that this song is still going! Cheers!
It is good to hear this young generation celebrating the music that was created by their great grand parents.
Just when I thought I couldn’t like colter wall any more than I already did
Absolutely one of the best covers I've heard
Damn, the manner of singing... That man for sure knows what he's singing about. Brilliant cover!
Heard this song for the very first time on Fallout, went searching and fell in love with old country music.
Never thought we'd get a modern outlaw man, but here I stand corrected. Thanks for all you do for keeping real country alive, Mr. Wall!
Yup he's special , I'm so thankful for his songs. Envious too!
I hope this is released on a record or streaming, its incredible
Just wanted to let you know, it’s releasing on his new album. Quite a few covers on it. It’s gonna be awesome.
This dude is the real deal! I love that he's keeping that old-school sound alive.
why does this iphone recording sound so good
Xuramaz iphones get a lot of shit. Sure, they’re a little over priced and overrated, but they’re still pretty good phones.
@@aidanmaxwell1019 The new ones are actually amazing with sound and video.

Little sharp on my car stereo, but it ain't too bad.
Because its actually a Samsung lol XD
This is great. I grew up on Marty Robbins and old cowboy ballads
That's a good performance of a Real Country and old Trail song, a gunfighter ballad. That's country, this dude does it well.
How does someone even sound like this. It’s amazing
I absolutely love Marty Robbins and Colter Wall, this made my day
Wow. This man, Colter Wall, is a living time capsule. I cannot wait to see him!
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 young man is bringing a type of music back and it's a beautiful thing. Marty Robbins would have been proud!
Big iron in the song that got me into classic country!
Pretty much his entire TOUR is sold OUT!. amazing to see. ! so happy for him. what a voice.. !
Gracias!!, Thanks!,
Por tu música, tu voz y ser tan atractivo
Ojalá pudiese verte en directo.
Desde Galicia sigo escuchándote y disfrutando.
Colters my brother in laws cousin so i got to see him when he came to Buffalo NY and it was such a cool experience. Colter is one of the coolest guys i've ever met, and during COVID times i heard he's ranching somewhere in Arizona.
I always love Colter live so much more then recorded!
Patroling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Rangers really do lead the way, huh
*Had enough?*
I used to be a courier like you, 'til I took a bullet in the head.
Authentic. Genuine. The Real Deal. No other words for it.
Hard to describe the greatness of this video.
We need a county hits album from colter.
My favorite version of this song and it was live. That's excellent.
I'm literally witnessing greatness right now......
Beautiful cover. Hard to sing a ballad like this. Congratulations on your talent.
my kid loves this because FONV. And me too
Good kid
I like your kid. That's how I discovered Marty Robbins who lead me to Cash who led me to... you get the point. New Vegas started my love for old country.
Fell in love with this style of music from that damn game hahaha, good on you and your kid.
Colter you never cease to amaze me, you are the hero country music needs.
I never knew I needed this in my life. Really wish Wall would get more air time...he’s unlike any country artist out there
This gave me so much joy when I saw this in my recommended
One of my favorites. Keep driving Colter. 👍
Nailed it!!!
This makes me happy, I grew up on Marty Robbins
Thanks for keeping the traditions alive bro!!!
I think it is safe to say this is the definitive performance of this classic. Incredible.
Colter along with Sturgill, Margo Price, Chris Stapleton, etc are all part of the new outlaw movement. They’ve had it with the Nashville sound and they’re bringing country music back to its roots. I love it
Sturgill has forsaken country.
Can't wait to see what he plays for us tonight. Didn't even know they were playing Marty.
What a great voice. And a great performance.
So glad he published this song
Love this song, great tribute to Marty Robbins.
Colter and Sturgill are keeping real country music alive.
This is absolutely amazing
Damn! That's now my favorite version of this song.
Colter and the band, y’all keep it going cus I bump your stuff in the car, proudly!
As covers go, this is superb! Love both versions.
love this song! Great performance!!! Marty is proud :)
My favorite song and favorite album by mr Marty Robbins
Long live marty robbins songs
I like how he just walks up to the mike and then just owns the crowd when he starts singing. Good job.
Thank you, Colter!
Bravo boys. Super.Excellent.
Marty would be proud.
This festival was amazing

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.
Great cover and an amazing voice
This band took the original songs integrity seriously. Amazing how good both versions are.
Who's here after it was announced his new album will have a cover of this song ?
Is that Dale Brisby on the harmonica?
If only
I told my girl, this dudes going to grow into that voice very well... I'm not wrong! 😎
Yup, utterly colter wall.
He sounds like a young Cash but also has his own sound. Love this guy
Agreed. Though it's almost as if he's changed his style now. As much as I love his new sound, I think I like his older sound more - his music around 2017.

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
Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Nick Shoulders, Cody Jinks
make it happen
21st century version of the highwaymen
Drop Cody jinks, he’s sold out and turned to trash. Add Willy tea Taylor or Benjamin Todd, and it’d be perfect.
YUP
A slide solo in the middle and the decrescendo during the drama of the standoff. Colter knows how to do this music thing. Great song and great band. They had a super high quality version of this song on their “Austin City Limits” show but i cant find it on YT anymore
This concert was amazing. I had to leave early 😩
Damn what a great cover of this song 👏
I been thinking to myself I would love if he covered this song then I found it three more videos down.
That intro was beautiful.
I swear this guys the last front of true good country and western music
This makes the iron big.
