Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs

Title says it all

Jk I’m here from fallout NV, if you say you aren’t from fallout NV you’re a bad liar, good song.

Whoever picked the OST for FONV was a mad man… in a good way

Enough said

The fact that I’m 13 and just now hearing about this album, well it personally offends me.

My Mom and Pop loved Marty Robbins voice, and had this album. I remember listening to this record over and over again growing up, as I loved westerns, especially Clint Eastwood westerns. So much so, I had to buy a single action six shooter years later, and practice fast draw, twirling it back in the holster, and “fanning the hammer” style shooting. I became quite good at it, I have to say. The imagery the songs on this album portrays maybe are romanticised a bit, compared to what the old west was really like, but that didn’t matter to a kid growing up in the mid 20th century! What mattered was Marty sang about good triumphs over evil, (Big Iron, The Masters Call), tragic love (El Paso, Running Gun), and a host of old western songs (Cool Water, The Strawberry Roan, Little Green Valley), and conjured imagery of the old west in the vivid young mind of a kid growing up in New Haven, Indiana! RIP Marty! You brought me a lot of joy and happiness growing up!

IT HAS BIG IRON

My Momma was raised on a Ranch. She rode along side her brothers, when working the cattle. She sang some of these ballads to us kids and grandkids. Long since gone, but not the memories of my Momma singing these songs. This Album gives me such peace and the beautiful times together, a long time ago. Thank you.

When fallout new vegas isent punishing you enough with big iron so you come and punish yourself with the great song itself outside the game

This will always be one of my favorite albums.
