Reviews (page 13 of 14)
This is literally the most western country album ever made. Chock full of ballads of sadness and lonely. Of the western cowboy and his numerous problems. Still holds up better than a lot of country albums especially for that time. Probably thanks to the Fallout games.
Il a une très belle voix. Je me suis laissé bercer par les mélodies. Un petit côté nostalgique.
Not at all bad, some easy listening tracks
caguei n vou ouvir isto
3/5 Best song: Big Iron
3/5 Naja okay
ABSOLUTE BANGER
good album.
I was surprised by how many of these songs I already new. It's a great example of storytelling country & western.
A fun album
Fun and kitschy 50s music. A real blast from the past.
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this. Listened while on a walk. Kept me going so fast. The fast paced beat, the gory stories, the soothing vocals. Love, love, love.
Nothing ground breaking but great mood music if you're in a depressed cowboy or a epic western mood. (3.5)
Precisely
I listened twice. I adored this album. Found out my dad had been singing a real song all those years! “Coooool, cleeaaar waterrr.” He would sing it on hikes and hot days and the like. Us kids though he was just being a dork. Im so glad I listened, for the memories, and for Marty’s smooth voice.
Not my thing :( Big Iron is a classic tho
Ima give it a 5 cause why not. I liked the songs they banged
The black gunfighter figure against the red background is top notch. I was surprised to recognize a song, El Paso. Can't fault the voice. But still.
One of the greatest pleasures of this project is discovering albums you would never normally listen to and being struck by how incredible they sound. Beautifully constructed, beautiful arrangements and melodies. I had never heard of Marty Robbins but what a voice - what an image. And as if being a Gunfighter was not enough, the man was a NASCAR driver too! This is simply stunning outlaw country. Utterly bad ass, 100% American. It goes straight to the heart of the American character, captured on wax. Big Iron must surely rank amongst the greatest songs of the 20th Century.
Well that was a pleasant surprise.
I wasn't able to listen to this album in its entirety, just a matter of a busy day, not a statement about the music. It's interesting, listening to older albums and hearing things that sound so cliché — in terms of songwriting and production — while recognizing that this was probably pretty novel at the time of the release. Hard to put myself in that place and hear it as new. That said, I was surprised to recognize at least one song ("Cool Water," from "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs") and found this to be a pleasant listen. Not expecting I'll be pulling this album out to spin just for enjoyment, but who knows? Robbins has a great range and tone as a vocalist, and there's something soothing about this music, even if it is about outlaws and gunslingers and the dusty trail.
Hey, another great discovery. This is a perfect selection for this kind of list because I never would have listened to this otherwise. I don't think I've ever heard a Marty Robbins song, except maybe on a soundtrack somewhere. I loved it. The production is amazing. They really knew how to make records back then. And Robbins isn't just a great singer, but a commanding storyteller as well. I've come to really dig a lot of American music from '58-'62. The stuff you hear in David Lynch movies. It's very uncynical and uncool and kind of wide-eyed and haunting. I love it.
The album title turned me off. I could envision listening to one or two of these songs in a film. Listening to this entire album was totally unenjoyable.
Country. Ni fu ni fa.
Great literal lyrics, takes my mind back to Spagetti westerns. Some lyrics have not aged well.
Delightful throwback to the era of identifiable good guys and bad guys. Will listen to again
Archetypal Western music, beautifully done
Not something I would ordinarily listen to. This one definitely puts the Western into Country and Western.
Perfect voor een rustig ochtendje. Big Iron is top.
Surprisingly enjoyable listen. Engaging storytelling, beautiful vocals. Marty Robbins goes for a very specific mood/vibe here, and he commits to it admirably. If you don't really love this kind of music, it can get a bit tedious in the middle. That said, "El Paso" is a really gorgeous song, a true classic of the genre. Fave Songs: El Paso, In the Valley, They're Hanging Me Tonight, Big Iron
Classic cowboy folk songs! Star of the show is Big Iron & El Paso.
Like a smirk on the face of an older relative telling you an entertaining story, there's a beautiful contrast between the warmth of the delivery and the subject matter being delivered. You know it's full of embellishments and they know you know, but it doesn't matter. The veracity of the facts aren't the point. The emotional connection to the storyteller is the point.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought
I suddenly got an urge to watch John Wayne movies and read Lucky Luke. This is peak wild west music only behind Ennio Morricone. Is it something I would listen to again? Maybe. It's a very fun album to listen to.
Ändå rätt trött westernmusik som troligtvis har nått slags värde i amerikanska musik-kulturen.
Can't say I enjoyed this one, could see some of it being background music in old timey movies but it was a slog to get through
Masterclass in couplet storytelling. Whether you like country or not, songs like ‘big iron’ are hard not to get sucked into. The soft disposition of the acoustics and bass is complimented justly with Marty’s lovely vibrato. An album for the ages.
absolute classic. excellent songs, love the harmonies. faves: big iron, they're hanging me tonight, cool water, el paso
1 or 2 songs I liked, the rest is country
Awful American lyrics. Too gringo, too macho, smooth voice. Would not listen again.
Enjoyed this way more than I expected, solid 3.5, but can't justify giving it 4 stars over 3.
BIG IRON ON HIS HIP. Such a tune. Some fantastic storytelling throughout this album. Not every tracks a banger and it could do with some tracklist editing but great album overall.
Kende hem niet maar werd er heel vrolijk van. Mooie snik ook.
I have never heard such nostalgic rubbish. This is why rock ‘n’ roll was invented. Like the cover tho
Definitely not among the worst country I've heard. But also very far from the best I've heard. Quite OK and El Paso is a nice track.
Campy classic!
High quality bangers all
Fun and as expected. Best song is El Paso.
I dislike that this is the first one cause New vegas
loved it!
Classic from start to finish.
This was a great album actually and the sound is excellent, despite its age. Easy to understand lyrics and good tunes all around and super classic country. 7/10.
Fome. Innecesario. No pertenece a esta lista.
What I expect the music in a nursing home to sound like.
Nothing unique musically for that time, but a fun uplifting listen with deeper lyricism than what country was provided in that period’s mainstream.
Decent early honky tonk Country music. Nice to hear once but doesn't leave a lasting impression
Big Iron fucks
I can see how this might make the cut for being culturally significant in the way that an album of sea shanties might be but I thought it was a strange choice. Having said that I appreciated the history of it and even recognised at least one track. It wasn’t awful by any means so a generous 3*
Loved it! All quite samey but found myself singing along and enjoyed listening.
I love this album. Like so many others, my "introduction" to Marty Robbins was hearing "Big Iron" in 'Fallout: New Vegas', and that remains one of my favourite songs of his, but there's so much here to enjoy. The primary star here is Robbins' voice; it perfectly encapsulates the soul of classic country music, belting out these charming, captivating lyrics in a manner that is so easy and enjoyable to listen to. There's a beautiful nostalgia to this music, capturing a time and context that has long since passed us by but continues to live on in these songs. An absolute must listen to.
how delightful, makes me want to listen to Patsy Cline! some of the songs sound a little like early Elvis, leaning into blues territory.
There was some good story telling in these songs right here. El Paso has always been a bop.
It’s weird I’ve heard so many of these. Delightful little ditties about murder.
One has to be in the mood, but a wonderful little slice of American music history. Gunfighter ballads…Marty Robbins laid the groundwork for the greatness of T or NWA? Lol!
Though most of these songs sound the same, I enjoyed hearing the sappy stories. Every song sounds like it was played while mounted on the back of a loping horse. I love these old cowboy folk tunes.
Loved this - country but not winey- something my grandparents would have listened to and love that nostalgia vibe - sounds familiar although I’d never heard it before
Yes please. I am a country boy at heart and this music lets me imagine I work on a ranch in colorado with my horses (except I dont really like horses). I think I want to have horses on my ranch, I like the idea of lots of prancing stallions in my fields. And I would have an apple orchard. Its nice to hear a country album that isn't incessant racism and sexism, this is classic country (i guess probably western more accurately) about hard working, blue collar struggles post WW2 Highlights from this album, "Big Iron" what a cracking start to the album. "El Paso" - Gratefull Dead also covered this album lots in their earlier tours to great affect. Loved this, giving it a 5 as it had a huge influence in a lot of the later country and rock music I listen to.
This album is incredible, made even more so by how much the Western genre is largely forgotten under the large umbrella of Country. Songs that tell a story, songs with strong melodies, even if repetitive at times, make this an easy listen. Yes, this is the Western in Country & Western, and not the Country. This distinct difference has fallen out of popularity but what is now considered old Country, particularly Outlaw, seems to be hanging on with artists like Sturgill Simpson. Either way, this is probably an educational listen for so many people and for that reason its inclusion on 1001 is very important. An added bonus is getting to listen to this in stereo, which makes for reconciling hearing something from 1959 sound so good an easy task for the mind.
Kinda cheezy and goofy, but at the same time, quite enjoyable. Never dared to listen to Marty Robbins before, but heard this album mentioned as being a classic record. More like a guilty pleasure for me. Thanks for the suggestion!
I’m not old enough for this album to be nostalgic for me but, nevertheless, listening to this has triggered memories of my childhood. Regardless this is a fun album of folksy, cowboy songs. I like it.
Culturally significant, get me to the nearest saloon.
Brilliant. Great voice and you can hear every word. I didn't even know I needed gunfighter ballads in my life. Would have been 5 stars except for bringing ole JC into to tell him that stealing cattle is wrong.
Much better than I expected. Easy to just fade into background, but then you would pick up on a wild scenario from one of the ballads and get pulled back in. Also this dude raced in NASCAR for fun?
Started strong and faded. Glad this is being preserved, but I was excited for old western ballads, and left a tad disappointed.
Big Iron was the standout track to me. It was interesting listening to this after Kid Rock. Definitely would like to revisit this.
I mean.. western songs I guess.
This is the kind of country I like. Marty has a lovely baritone voice - not twangy. Not much variety in arrangement. You can tell the emphasis is much more on storytelling. Standout tracks for me were "They're Hanging Me Tonight" and "El Paso". I'll be interested in listening to this more in depth later.
This album reminds me of something my grandma would play or sing when we were around. It made me nostalgic, but it was just okay. After the first couple of songs they all sort of blurred together.
Not a fan of country western music. They're Hanging Me Tonight has a really nice melody that I enjoyed but everything else was not for me.
Very good story telling and wow everyone really dies in the end huh
I only knew the first song (Big Iron) and it is a great song. Also thought the other songs written by MR stood out above the rest of the material, but in general this album was just too boring (reminded me of all those Elvis Presley soundtrack albums).
Didn't mind this too much, but it was a bit boring at times.
Old time country story songs. El Paso is a classic country standard.
I enjoyed this album - it's 1950s nostalgia for the Wild West, and Robbins has a smooth voice.
This is an enjoyable album. Nice story telling.
Why is this on the list?
Incredible album. Every song tells a vivid story and Robbins' voice is hauntingly beautiful. Enjoyed from beginning to end.
Great
The production is very clean and crisp, especially for 1959. But I found the album a little tedious and repetitive, both musically and lyrically. How many songs had the image of notches on a gun? I wonder if I’d enjoy one or two of these songs more on their own instead of all in a row.
He has a nice smooth voice, and I always love some highly utilized backup vocals. Definitely not something I want to listen to for 45 minutes, but it's a nice nostalgic feeling album.
It's a fun album. I wish I was the gunslinger on the album cover. What a man. It was more diverse than I predicted it to be. It's got some nice vocal harmonies and some fun chromatic guitar playing! There's something about American folk music that attracts me at a deep level; it's the depictions of the west, the stories about outlaws, the way that they sing about love in a vastly different era but it surprisingly isn't really that different from modern day love songs. I love it. Overall I liked the album, and I think a record like this deserves a place on this list.
Western music is often fun as it generally tells quite a straightforward story. A bit different. I admire a lot about this music, harmonies and story telling but it does tire doesn't it... Christ there were just about 5 too many songs on this album. But that's quite a small reason to slag it off
Yeeehaaaaar cowboy. Enjoyed this. Got a bit samey but it was good fun
Fun to hear a storyteller working in direct images and a strong voice
Obviously, it's very competent. Simple with nice vocal harmonies. But this all-American Christian gunfighter hoakum is so dated and ridiculous, it is unbearable. Sensible gun reform now!
Banger isn’t a strong enough word to describe this album
Unlike the album cover which looks like an image of Marty Robbins printed, cut out and glued poorly to red paper, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs was an authentic well rounded album with interesting lyrics and outlaw imagery. Gives old cowboy tv show vibes. I personally didn't like the kind of background vocals featured but Robbins' lead was decent. The music is nice though works better as a complementary piece to those lyrics. Liked Big Iron and They're Hanging Me Tonight the most.
Its from a far more basic time and its simplistic song writing is unrelenting
Because of some video game Steven played. I have a lot of prior exposure to this guy. Only one song. But my love for it carried over.
I loved this album as a kid in the 70s. It's a classic.
BIG IRON ON HIS HIP
Reminded me of watching John Wayne movies with my Nan. Not offensive but also seems very much from another time.
I thought I would hate this, then warmed to it after the first few tracks, before thinking meh towards the final third. It's a little too twee, a little too thigh-slapping. Plus I find it hard to enjoy an album that is all about guns. It has some romantic imagery, but I suspect it tells the story of a world that never really existed.
I think I remember reading a review for a Little Richard album, saying that it was unfair to judge the album since Little Richard existed before the concept of an "album artist" was established. I feel the same for this. The songs were looking to fill a niche and weren't designed to be listened to back-to-back like this. If I were judging it that way, I'd say the songs get a bit repetitive (he mentions "20 notches in a pistol" in three songs I can remember), but he has a wonderful voice and paints a vivid picture. Favorite tracks: "Big Iron", "Saddle Tramp"
I barnstorm by Country music most of the time, but this album was a cracker. Very good story teller. Paints a good picture of what life may or may not have been like in the era
Yee haw
Mighty damn white.
as much as I always say I don't like country there's some really nice songs here. Especially the first few on the album plus Master's Call
Voz e vibe gostosas
I can see why it's on this list since it is just quintessential western music that is well done. A few songs are unique enough to make an impression but for the most part they kind of just mesh together. 4/10
Very much of its time. Quite tame fireside croonsome Americana. Not exactly Murder Ballads by Nick Cave!
lite småmysigt men inget som får mig att gå så att säg
Yeehaw!
This is great late 50s period music for me. Reminds me of my dad.
It’s an accurate album title - old school country campfire narratives about life in the badlands.
Marty's vocals ride a little close to Sinatra-in-a-bad-way at times, but the instrumentals are impressively clean and Gunfighter Ballads is iconic despite the memetics.
see you, space cowboy
nope
I've never quite appreciated how much propaganda goes into western songs untill paying attention to this. Honestly found myself unexpectedly enjoying the atmosphere and the tall tales told. The musical arrangement and the vocal performance are nothing to write home about, but the simplicity and a kind of earnestness that goes into this storyteling caused me to slip into a smiliar mindset as when listening to fables, and it caused the whole album to go by in a flash.
Calm western music, delivered by a pleasant voice of Marty Robbins and a splendid guitar. Definitely felt the vibe of the western trail. Had some fun listening to it, but I don't feel the need to return to it for some time. Highlight: El Paso
Westernowa muzyczka ma to do siebie, że albo jest epicka, albo się nudzi po 30 sekundach. Big Iron spoko, reszta miałka.
Nudy na pudy. Parę przyzwoitych kawałków i reszta wypychacze, które przeleciały bez wzbudzenia jednej emocji. Brzmi jak wszystko westernowe.
Beautiful and classic
Boomer cowboy songs for wanna-be cowboy boomers
This is OK for what it is but it's too dated for me really. I know I'd never choose to listen to it.
loved it, the og country music.
Classic stuff. You can hear the influence this has on the Grateful Dead, Chris Isaak, and the CatDog theme song. All bangers.
I started off enjoying this album because the songs are so catchy and he has a great voice but after 5-6 songs it started to feel like the same song over and over again. Like you could have taken the lyrics from any song from this album and swapped them with any other song from this album and it would have sounded totally normal.
Goes a long way to explaining why the genre was called Country & Western. The influence of this release was enormous at the time and it is apparent what that was the case.
This is a little hokey, but I liked it anyway. Reminds me of songs during the credits of old B/W western movies. It's very well recorded for the time (or maybe it's been completely remastered). Another half-star problem for me. Would like to give it 3.5.
Really great. Each track was like it’s own western film and I found it really impressive how a world was created within each song, filled with vivid characters and settings. I know the Grateful Dead covered El Paso from this, but they must have been inspired by this world building too. Cool Water, El Paso, and Billy the Kid did this exceptionally well. I’d probably give this a 4.5 if I could since I can’t say it’s something I’d truly want to listen to frequently and sounds dated but it’s country music at its best for sure.
Mooie zwoele country
God s med Marty
I love this stuff! Old country that's new to me is always approved for listening.
I know I've heard "El Paso" numerous times. It's a great song, and when I played this album it was the one my wife was waiting to hear. Definitely a change of pace album for me. It is such a different type of album from what I normally listen to, but that's not a bad thing. It's a simple recording but the songs are not simple. You would think that the songs being of the same type would be boring, but not really. Most of them are short enough to hold your interest, get in and get done fairly quickly. The Beatles' tracks were like that, too. 2 minutes or so and bam, you're done. That brevity is sometimes lacking in thing I listen to. Anyway, I dug the pieces, even though they harken back to a time before rock. It is a novelty but not a bad one. Something to come back to but not to listen to every day.
Really enjoyed this album. A different era of country music - the golden years in my opinion. A lot of the songs have the same qualities - smooth lead vocals that fill your ears, sweet backing vocal harmony, straight ahead musical arrangements that they play and pluck the heck out of, and some nostalgic or heart-tugging lyrics. Robbins and his band don't disrespect the songs recorded by others and the originals fit right in. Wish there were a few more originals. Listening to the album was like watching an old Western. Real easy listening.
This album was a real treat to listen to. Although my favorite songs on the album were all written by Robbins the arrangements of traditional songs and covers were done really well. The musicianship on here is excellent and the lyrics really do take you back to the fairytale image of what the old west was. I listened to a few other albums of his after this and enjoyed them as well.
Pretty tempted to give this five stars as it seems like the epitome of wild west ballads. I'm sure there'll be a time and place where it's necessary to put this on as a soundtrack, not exactly sure when but when the time comes I'll know.
big irooooon, big iroooon
Mmmmmmmmmm. No sé. Me puso nerviosa por momentos.
I like outlaw country but this was a little toooo old school for me
Marty paired perfectly with Sunday brunch this morning. Thought I’d be disappointed but I liked the storytelling. It was a rootin’ tootin’ good time!
first listen wow this is a real treat, never listened to tejano
I wasn’t sure what to expect but I liked it, very pleasant. Made me want to read a Western. I liked the simplicity yet the vocals have more range than a Frank Sinatra and the lyrics tell great stories. Musically decent. I’ll likely listen again.
4.4 + A delightful country-western record with stories of cowboys and outlaws, set against a sunny desert backdrop. Robbins sings with a clear, bright tenor, supported with barbershop-style backing vocals and guitar. There are also subtle tinges of mariachi. Highlights include "Big Iron", "El Paso", and "Cool Water."
Expected to hate this, in fact I quite liked it. A fun mellow album.
Amazing trail songs.
Un album trop hot. Fallout new vegasj’adore
Good voice but not something I'd listen to much.
Det helt gamle blues rock, 50’er, country vibes, simpelt og ganske godt
way better than I ever could have expected, incredible songwriter
Cowboy shit.
Big Iron is a fun song. There are some actually really nice musical progressions and modulations. All the songs have these tight narratives, and are just so enjoyable. The Master's Call is christian fan fic, though a god killing 100 cattle with a lighting bolt is pretty rad. El Paso is really violent for such an upbeat song. This was a great time.
timeless and legendary western nostalgia ballads. truly infectious storytelling in these lyrics! 4.5/5
Good album. No skips and felt sort of comforting and peaceful for some reason.
A fantastic album. Along with rap, country has been my eye opening genre that I will likely explore as a result of this exercise. Each song is a small cinematic snippet replete with shady characters, beautiful vistas and plot twists. All the songs are great but the standouts for me ; Big Iron (gorgeous rhythm guitar), El Paso and The Masters call. I loved this album 5 🌟 (bonus; the songs chose by Tidal after the album was finished more great storytelling songs that enhanced my listening experience)
Extremely not my thing. Only made it like two tracks.
I really enjoyed the storytelling on this.
Loved it. If all country sounded like that I'd be hooked
Very county and western, very yeehaw, very dated, very much not my thing
Yeehaw 🤠
Amazing! Fallout 3 memories :)
na prvu nisan toliko bila oduševljena, ali neke pisme su mi baš dobre i sigurno ću ih opet poslušat (npr. Billy The Kid, obožavan te mutacije dur-mol). Iako, za tako "pozitivan" ugođaj, dosta tekstova je o ubojstvima haha
Wow hahah dođe mi da se postanem cowboy(girl?) “ I've got a hundred and sixty acres full of sunshine \\ Got a hundred and sixty million stars above” Otkrila san posebno misto u srcu za country 50-ih ili Martyija whatever
Love the stories. Usually hate country, but this was more western!
Fallout new vegas classic but only a few takeaways
Great western classics…. Big fan
Did not expect this to show up on this list but I should have. Stevie had a vinyl with some of these greats on it and we used to sing them all the time. Classics like Big Iron, El Paso, The Hanging Tree are great country songs. I think what I liked most was the way Marty was able to tell a story in his songs that was unique but also so very country.
A true classic right here. My first exposure to Marty Robbins, as is probably the case for most people my age and younger, was hearing "Big Iron" on the radio in Fallout: New Vegas. I was obsessed with that song (and several others in the game), and eventually I had the urge to seek out the man responsible. Robbins was an immensely talented country musician, who not only sang but wrote many of his timeless tracks. He found a lot of success and popularity during his time, but I think he's a little underrated by today's standards, at least in retrospective discussion of country artists like Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson or whoever else. I'm a Marty Man, and this album should show you why. All the tracks really do feel like they belong out on the range, on the trail. Great cowboy tales and imagery, and just infectious melodies to boot. The whole thing was recorded in one, eight-hour session! Sounds a bit like Black Sabbath's debut, another 5-star album from me. I don't know what it is, but some great artists seems to really shine when put in that pressure cooker. Anyway, go listen to El Paso at full blast and dream about that Mexican maiden. Favorite tracks: Big Iron, El Paso, The Hanging Tree, Strawberry Roan, The Master's Call, They're Hanging Me Tonight. Album art: Truly iconic, I love simple designs like this from the '50s, and it's also just an extremely bold color plus Marty in cowboy get-up. This one lives in my heart and mind forever. 5/5
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. However I’m not going to buy the album to add to my collection because of the topics, killing and death.
Wouw.. is it a joke..?!
When I saw the cover I feared the worst, but I actually thought this was pretty good! Catchy songs, and though the music was very samey, the stories kept coming. Yeehaw
Big Iron was my grandads favourite song because of the story telling. I think that the narratives are miles better than the tunes but I still really enjoy x
Enjoyed this one! Marty's voice is excellent and there are so many amazing harmonies throughout with the backing singers, and some excellent little guitar licks that add so much to the songs I felt the songs did start to get a bit samey after a while, and the ones that were just Marty on his own didn't click with me as much, but on the whole it was a great vibe.
This is THE ALBUM to show people who say they don't like country music. I'm not even a big country fan but this is a fantastic album. It reminds me of what my Grandpa would call "attitude adjustment" music. You just can't be mad while listening to it. El Paso invokes memories I forgot I had of childhood. The fact that this album was recorded in a single 8 hour session makes it all the more impressive just how good the album really is.
As much as I have difficulty with millennial pop I find it really easy to connect with music that was produced decades before I was even born. Who knows! So I was excited of getting a 1959 of what seemed to be a country album, and really eager to get to listen to it. I am not deceived: the double bass, the subdued, barely audible acoustic guitar/banjo, and those vocal harmonies, just wow! One of my favourite albums of 2021 was Sturgill Simpson's The Ballad Of Doode & Juanita, and I can see clearly the influence that Marty Robbins' album might have cast over the kind of Sturgill's albums narrative.
Well, better than I thought. Like Nick Cave's Murder Ballads, but country style. Yee Ha!
Liked it! Great collection of country ballads
Never Heard beford, probably never Heard again.
Perfect album to listen to while reading Steel Ball Run
cannot believe I loved this
11th February 2022 Started while making up the front room for Caroline, Ian etc but didn’t finish until Monday morning. I like the storytelling element, musically simple but the vocals are lovely. And without albums like this we wouldn’t have Springsteen.
Buen disco
Прослушивание 1 + размышления: 1 Это кантри? Эм.... не люблю такое. Но мало ли удивит. Но звучит это интересно, и даже не отвратно. 2 Кантри- музыка для добряков. Бывает вообще злое кантри?) Песня- добрый отрывок на 1.5 минуты. 3 Очень жалко, что я не носитель английского языка (да я и русским не очень владею). Столько великих песен, а я не понимаю о чем они. Вот песня пробивает на слезу, но о чем она? Эх :( 4 А вода прохладная, или хорошая?) 5 Как красиво поёт этот мужик. Любит он протягивать гласные, это завораживает. 6 Это песня про друга, которого любил исполнитель, и который был как брат?) No Homo. Возможно я не понял про что песня, но будет кринжово, если я не так понял. 7 Мне только сейчас мысль пришла, а альбом не концептуальный случаем? Ааааа ненавижу языковой барьер- это ужасно. Я могу оценивать только звучание, а так как это кантри, тут нет ничего интересного.... 8 Снова ничего не понимаю, но песня вдохновляет. 9 Вот это веселуха. Что за шесть пушек у него? Six gone, six gone, ничего не выкупаю. 10 Вообще дикий запад с одной стороны ассоциируется с 2 клише: салун, перестрелки, а также кантри. Как такие 2 вещи пересекаются? Непонятно. 11 Ох... сейчас бы в stardew valley поиграть. Совет дня, не идите в 10 класс, потому что в 11 надо сдавать ЕГЭ. Лучше бы я в шарагу ушёл, чем остался бы тут учиться. 12 Сейчас бы за город, выращивать в огороде патисоны. Пожарить потом шашлыки, а затем, вечером играть в домино. Такое настроение мне передаёт песня. 13 Какая песня весёлая. Танцевать хочется. 14 Седло трампа, нет блин трон байдена. Вхахаххахаха 15 Что, уже конец? Очень увлекательный был альбом. А этот трек был вроде. Банжо похоже на балалайку по звуку) Прослушивание 2: это музыка не предназначена для фона. Вот едешь в автобусе, хочется спать, а тут такое, не поспишь. Пришёл домой, поел, лежишь и кайфуешь Вывод: альбом мне не зашёл, такой жанр я не люблю, добавил один трек, но альбом дал мне заряд положительных эмоций, поэтому моя оценка- 3 из 5, супер!
Me transportou pra outra época. Gostei.
Kinda fun! It includes El Paso, Marty's biggest hit.
This was amazing. Every song was better than the last. What great stories and tunes.
Old fashioned but so enjoyable! It took me back to watching Calamity Jane as a kid!
The 12 tracks on this album certainly sound like authentic "cowboy songs" in terms of there arrangements (Solo singer with a small choir of male harmonies, acoustic guitar, acoustic bass and mandolin). Indeed, in 2017, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant." It's very much a lyrical and storytelling album, usually with a fatalistic ending for the protagonist. Is very much music of it's time, so it's hard to imagine this album gaining an audience from today's generation. Lacking any real variety, the album does get a bit samey and the laid back nature works for and against it. It's a shame there is nothing with excitement like 'Rawhide'. Stand out tracks: the two singles 'El Paso' and 'Big Iron'.
Fine enough when you’re watching a western, but not something I’d choose to put on
What the actual fuck was he on about! Plus terrible terrible music like the sound of rain on a car roof.
Soundtrack to a shit western. A really shit one.
Oh no. Just ... Don't.
Yehawn! 🥱 It's alright if you like this sort of thing, for me it was a one-way ticket to Yawnville. Slept great last night, thanks for asking.
I like Big Iron. It has that railroad rhythm I associate with Johnny Cash. 160 Acres does less for me. It stays pretty samey from here. I realise judging a record from over 60 years ago is unfair. It passed pleasantly enough, but cowboy country has been run dry hence
Not a fan of country lol
c'est chiant
Decent shit vel gert og allt það en nenni ekki að hlusta eitthvað oft eða mikið á þetta no offense
YEEHAW, i have a new album for the favourites list! Gotta get back into Fallout... Cool Water is an amazing song!
Excellent.
Guns and roses, the wild wild west. Love, dust, prisons and Mexican girls. What country was.
Wtf Um this is fun Marty Robbins is officially an icon in my book
This was a real breath of fresh hair. I hadn't heard of this artist before and I loved this album. Added multiple songs from it to my playlist.
BIG IRON ON HIS HIP
Guns blazing out, country and western songs seem to have taken a large part of the American musical consciousness in 1959. This was the year a sleazy and cynical Italian-American crooner such as Dean Martin reinvented himself as a cowboy hero in Howard Hawks' *Rio Bravo*, even managing to have the producers press 'pause' on the proceedings onscreen to have enough time for him and Ricky Nelson to wistfully duet on the unforgettable "My Rifle, My Pony And Me" in front of an elated John Wayne. Only a few years before this endearing musical interlude on film, Marty Robbins' well-rounded persona and clear, juvenile voice had already surged in the US country scene thanks to hits such as "A White Sport Coat" and "The Story Of My Life". But it was also in 1959 that Robbin's real foray into western balladry actually started for good. And for those willing to invest their hard-earned bucks into a collection of records dedicated to such a quaint-yet-charming subgenre, *Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs* is deemed as nothing shorter than a landmark album. (For more information on this crooning, conservative and cosplay take on "country music" taken as a whole, see also: Jim Reeves. Or at least, that's what online specialists are trying to whisper into my ears right now--even though I'm not a horse). Wikipedia even informs us that years after *Gunfighter Ballads*'s release, members of the Western Writers of America chose six of its songs as being among the Top 100 Western Songs of all time. Three of them were written by Robbins: first his signature song "El Paso", along with "Big Iron", and "The Master's Call". And three were written and previously recorded by others: "Cool Water", "Billy The Kid", and "The Strawberry Roan". Without a doubt, the six songs listed here were the highlights of the album, whether then or now. It's worth noting, however, that in that bunch, "Big Iron" is probably the least compelling track, and its relative fame in 2022 seems to have more to do with the online craze of our day and age than in any relevant influence during the late fifties. In 2010, with the release of Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout New Vegas, *Gunfighter Ballads...* was indeed rediscovered by people who played the game and listened to the in-game radio. The radio feature included "Big Iron," which caused players to seek out the entire album, discovering the other songs online. Many Internet memes were created as a result, with the most common of them being parodies and edits of the album cover, along with edits or mashups of "Big Iron". And this hot trail was then picked up by the Breaking Bad producers, choosing the song for an appearance in the finale of their postmodern spaghetti western. Seems like Hollywood is never really far when something is labelled as 'Western'. It's those dreams shot for wide cinemascope screens, never really burdened by any sense of authenticity. How could those dreams *not* be part of the overall package here? Coincidentally or not, such a sudden and inexplicable online craze as the one that befell "Big Iron" also nicely ties in with the Tik Tok success of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" ten years later or so. And even beyond the common country and western influence displayed in those two admittedly very different tunes, there's *another* interesting parallel to point out here. In both cases, what we have is a competent song fooling around with clichés inherent to the genre involved, which often has its charm if it's done in the appropriate, tongue-in-cheek manner, as is the case for both tracks. But can such immediate, albeit somewhat hollow success be equated to art having a truly *meaningful* discourse about our current culture? The jury's out on this one. My best guess here is that all those playful Hollywood shenanigans are just ephemeral excitement, nothing that would change any listener's life in the long run. Not to say that Marty Robbins or Lil Nas X didn't *deserve* to have their fair share of success. But this sort of overwhelming popularity shouldn't *necessarily* have any bearing on any retrospective critical assessment, mind you. And I'll point my pistol to anyone who says I should change my mind and speak more cautiously about all this. Understood, gringo? All oh-so-serious grumblings about the commodification of music aside (niche or otherwise), the six Robbins songs quoted earlier in this piece still have very clear assets, like trump cards in a poker game explaining why this album shouldn't be totally forgotten either. "The Master's Call", in particular, could remind modern listeners of Nick Cave's killer-rampage rants about outlaws and other low-life thugs swarming in his narrative pandemonium of beautiful losers and desperate psychos (it seems like Cave's aptly named *Murder Ballads* might even have drawn a little influence from Robbins, at least on the conceptual level). And among the three covers quoted up above, the cautionary tale "Billy The Kid" also stands out for sure. Flavored with peppers and hot chili sauce all around its Tex-Mex arrangements (just like in the sweeter, grander and yet more by-the-books "El Paso"), there's even a gripping quality to the rendition of that traditional tune in here, with its smart, bittersweet alternance of major and minor key chords neatly thought out, recorded and performed. The images evoked by such a technicolor-shot motion picture are thus nothing short of stunning. And you can't complain about the script either, even though you know how the story ends (spoiler alert: badly). As for most of the other unquoted songs, there's nothing in them particularly worth raving about on first listens. If you happen to be obsessed with them tales of the Old Wild West--or if you're right in the middle of a Red Dead Redemption marathon--you will probably find the time and energy to immerse yourself into that hackneyed Grand Canyon vista so as to sort the wheat from the chaff before stacking the good stuff up in your carriage and move on. Other pioneers, however, might elect to go at once and find a creek with fresher water elsewhere to plant their tipees or tents. The American west is large enough for all sorts of pioneers anyway. Interestingly, *Gunfighter Ballads...* is now part of Sony's "American Milestones" reissue series for classic country and western albums, including, among others, *At Folsom Prison* by Johnny Cash and *Red Headed Stranger* by Willie Nelson. "American milestones", those figures are indeed, mostly because Cash and Nelson knew a thing or two about how they could raise a vast array of emotions in their listeners' souls (laughter, anger, cynicism, despair, romanticism and so on...). And doing this, the two also had a legitimate influence on other genres far outside of their initial reach. Cash's mordant lyrics, deep rumbling vocals and dry instrumentation, in particular, still stands the test of time today. Next to these giants, Marty Robbins kinda looks like a midget holding a water pistol instead of the glittering, proverbial colt. And the Old Wild West is certainly not kind for simpering tenderfoots with a suave voice, as every free-lance undertaker (and music critic) this side of Colorado knows...

Big fan
Nearly didn’t bother listening based on the cover, but some ok songs on it
WITH A BIG IRON ON HIS HIP I liked it it was good.
You know, Cowboy Elvis, I actually enjoyed our trip in the Western Country. I love the vivid stories and the delicious cowboy rock flavor of it from the '50s. I guess I enjoyed this little album as a whole. Most dads and grandpas today would love this set of '50s pop-rock tunes. Simple and even generic, just like "the good old days". It has a generic overall sound. It gets boring after a while, not so different from the old cowboy movies the local movie channel sometimes shows. But it's the vivid stories that bring this album to life. Much like the stories our grandparents tell us, there's fun in experiencing the adventures that they went through during those days.
Solid old country. Does sound kind of same-y after a while, but El Paso is hard not to like.
Dudes pretending to be cowboys will never not be funny. Still an enjoyable listen.
Brilliant album, fantastic country western music
From the golden age of country. This is an absolute classic from a time when the wild west dominated entertainment.
I liked the songs. A few reminded me of Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson Storytellers.
A relatively short album. I don't think I was familiar with any of the songs but that makes sense because I don't travel the trails and I am not a gunslinger.
Bang bang. A smooth listen as I cooked some Mexican food.
A real classic western crooner. I recall several of these songs from my childhood.
Quality vocals, and about as country/western as you can get, but sounds ancient now. Mostly because it is.
Interesting.
That's right, this is old songs, nice singer.
Seltsam wie unironisch ergriffen ich solch kitschige Räuberpistolen von heißen Eisen, Mexikanerinnen und Kristall klarem Wasser unter schattigen Weiden hören kann. Durstige 2.9
Konnte ich relativ uninteressiert weghören.
ok this isn’t my music taste at all. i wasn’t offended by it but i wouldn’t understand why people would listen to this over other albums. it was not horrifying but not good.
Seems harsh for me to give this less than a 2 but I really don't like this genre. After a minute or two it seemed like this could be a decent change of pace for me, but that's about the time I started tiring of it. And I think that first song ("Big Iron") was probably the best of the lot. I just can't with the simple tunes with that 50s echoey crooning vocal sound. Not exactly digging the lyrics either. I think it's really not so much the country - it's the western. 2/10 1 star - i'm sure there's a reason he's here but I just can't look beyond my personal distaste.
True 50s country & western, classic album. He loved El Paso so much he put it on there twice. Favorite Track: El Paso Relisten: Yes
I tried, not my thing
Good old country. Propably the most country album I have listened to. Loved it 4 stars.
This is a more solid eight hours' work than I've ever done in my life.
Det har skett.
Just a collection of very solid and enjoyable country ballads. I don’t think Marty really killed and got killed all those times, though
Ääälskar
That was really enjoyable, for a certain country/western vibe but really solid
Definitely worth looking into.
What a fun, unique album. 2 recognized songs
Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Hanging tree, Saddle trump
I really enjoyed this! Lyrically, it's like a cross between a particularly detailed health and safety report crossed with proto gangsta rap, combined with assertive yet comforting harmonies. The music reminds me of the sort of hipster western music that had a moment in the 90s, no doubt strongly inspired by Mr Robbins - just getting me ready to hear the real-ish deal for the first time 25 years later.
started off really well but got stupidly repetitive after a few songs.
great storyteller through music
Well, I love this. Like, really. Makes me think of the westerns my grandpas and dad watch. And also, Quentin Tarrantino. There is a lot of kitsche here. Every song is the same. But it's great. 3.5 but rounding up because I read that he was a pioneer of outlaw country. And, that's a subgenre I truly love.
Is it still cultural appropriation if you take something super white and make it even whiter? This guy is about as close to being a cowboy as I am to being an Olympic gymnast. Kidding aside, I know a lot of these Marty Robbins songs - so that's saying something. He has a great voice and this is iconic early Country/Western music - classic storytelling. I just can't get over how inauthentic it is. It's like he dressed up in a 6-year-old's Halloween costume and wrote songs about his favorite stories from one of those old radio shows.
it's not as bad as i was expecting but not something i'd go out of my way to listen to
Really enjoyed this!
Zzzzzzzz Songs to play around an open fire in the 1950s. Boring stories and repetitive boring music. If this was the soundtrack for a a Spinal Tap/Mighty Wind style mockumentary it would fit perfectly.
Hetken sai hauskoja Django-fiboja, mutta kovin nopeesti kävi ärsyttäväksi cowboy-ulinaksi...
Ei ihan lähteny tää rallattelu. Varmasti sopii elokuviin yhden kahden kappaleen verran ja menisi kivuttomasti, mut en mä tästä innostunut mitenkään
New to me, though I recognised El Paso from the Old 97s version. Enjoyed this more than I expected, though over time it felt a bit samey and not sure I’d listen too often.
Good
Jeden z najbardziej memicznych pickow jakie pojawily sie na liscie, bo ranger z wielkim ironem przy pasie, to nie tylko kultowa pozycja na ost falloutowym, ale bardziej ostatnio kojarzy sie z zoltym psem, no ale wspolczesnie sam koncept westernowych ballad jest zartem, bo opowiadaja one historie tak abstrakcyjne wspolczesnie, ze slucha sie ich jako zartu, a gunfighter ballads and trail songs, to wlasnie zbior takich przyspiewek, orginalne wydanie z 59 zamyka sie w 35 minutach, ale spotifaj ma wersje deluxowa z 99 dodajaca 3 kawalki, co daje 44 minuty opowiesci, o samym panie Robbinsie nie wiedzialem nic wiecej, ze byl autorem big irona, ale jak widze to jest on jednym z najwiekszych outlawowoych grajkow hameryki, 40 lat kariery muzycznej, filmowanie na boku, a dodatkowo jeszcze sciganka w nascarze, brzmi jak wspolczesny kowboj, jesli chodzi o ten album, to polowa materialu to orginalne utwory Martiego, natomiast reszta to klasyczne opowiscie outlawowe, wiec piekna milosc, jeszcze piekniejsze smierci, prawo i bezprawie, mala ojczyzna i jej uwielbienie polaczone z zamilowaniem wolnosci, pewnie sie powtazam, ale nawet komercyjnie sprzedawane country w takim wydaniu ma w sobie cos wyjatkowego, czego nie mozna uslyszec juz na dzisiejszych nagraniach, jesli chodzi o czesc instrumentalna plyty, to jest ona minimalistyczna i nadaje uczucie, ze slucha sie prawdziwej opowiesci w barze czy ognisku na szlaku, w nagraniu bralo udzial tylko pieciu artystow, jesli liczyc takze gitarke Robbinsa, no i jeszcze tompall & the glaser brothers robili za chorki, ktore w tym gatunku nie ograniczaja sie jedynie do refrenow, minimalne instrumentale, urzekajacy wokal pana Martiego i opowiesci z bezdrozy, przepis na wyjatkowo sluchalny krazek, na plejke leca glownie orginalne kompozycje, wiec otwierajacy big iron, el paso i they are hanging me tonight, po takim seansie czlek czuje sie jak bumer i znowu chce sie odpalac fallouta, aby przemierzac nieuzytki wyjete spod prawa
Chat Pile’s new record came out today. I think it’s their best yet. It isn’t as heavy as their earlier stuff, except for that one song that’s heavier. It isn’t as despairing as their other stuff, except the five or six times it’s more so. It’s often melodic; I’d imagine it’s easier to get into than their previous couple of records. It’s about the end of your world, my world, the world. “Everything will be fine, the sun will continue to shine.” Listening to “October all the time” after running Gunfighter Ballads feels somehow totally right, like I’m handling two bookends. The eschatological nimbus that hangs over “Big Iron” (soundtrack to Fallout: New Vegas) helps establish some shared ground tonally, and “They’re hanging me tonight” could easily be a lyric pulled from almost any song on Who Loves the Sun … but there’s more to it than that: like the America that still imagines itself the protagonist of outlaw country looks in the mirror and fails to see that it’s become as tortured, vacillating and wounded as a figure in a Chat Pile song. Not exactly that, but a dissonance of that type, anyway. Anyway. Maybe it’s just two separate things: some things are about the end, enjoy imagining it, get enthusiastic visualising it; other things are bound to live forever, and eventually starts to sound like the end just by virtue of you realising it’ll be there to see it while you won’t. So maybe the end of days stuff is nothing and what I’m hearing is really two musical acts concerned with telling stories about outlaws, albeit different kinds of outlaws of different provenances and proclivities. Or maybe those two things – the end, outlaws – stalk the same imaginary prey, gain nourishment from the same vulnerabilities, reach the same conclusion. Everything will be fine, the sun will continue to shine.
This guy talks more about guns than some rappers. Some clever lines here and there, but it’s the same 3 musical schemes over and over again. Tells many tall tales. How does this guy have the time to do all the things he claims he’s done. It’s fine. Sound like camp songs.
It's.... what you would expect...
great
I listen to a few of these songs regularly. Fantastic western sound.
Makes me want to get into some real, Old West shit!

As soon as I saw the album art and the title of this record, I knew I was in for the opposite of a treat. I don't care for this kind of music at all, but I approached it with an open mind. To be fair, it's not that bad for what it is. If you're into the old country/western style, this is definitely for you. Personally, I can't stand it, but I can appreciate the musicianship.
good but there was an issue with the audio that spoilt it
Very of its time, you can hear all the influences of rock ‘n’ roll within some of these songs
I have had this on repeat all day. That voice, like gold soaked in honey but with a slight hint of menace on par with Johnny Cash. I can hear Marty Robbins' sound in the DNA of American, Outlaw Country, Gram Parsons and even Nick Cave in his murder ballad era. Amazing stuff and an original artform
-Hey, "Big Iron" is the meme song -Cool and nice little stories within the songs, even if they are basically all "I'm a cowboy, I ride a horse, oh no I got shot, and now I'm dead"
Nice and jolly

Me if I was a cowboy
This one was fun in a bizarre way. The opener is amazing and there are some real gems along the way. It felt like a perfect example of what it was. There were several points where I felt like I’d heard something like it before. Not something I’d listen to every day but it was out of left field and enjoyable for the day
I've heard this music mimicked and parodied throughout my life. It's like stepping into an old TV show. This album is a fun time but nothing that I really take that seriously or will revisit
È repubblicano anticomunista altrimenti era un 3
Super cute gunslinger ballads - enjoyed lots more than I expected! Perfect campfire music, and love all the close harmonies. Fav new track: El Paso
Shame the guy was such a prawn
Take that outlaw! Not what I would listen to by choice but I enjoyed this. Glad it included El Paso which I recognise after its excellent use in Breaking Bad.
i always loved this album - i have a few favorites on it. El Paso, Big Iron, The Hanging Tree
Good crooning voice but doesn't stick. 2
Really enjoyed listening to this riding on a train through the west.
I love the really classic western songs like Big Iron and The Master's Call, and the fact that Robbins wrote these is a bonus. Even the more pedestrian, country style tunes are carried by good storytelling, strong lead vocals and nice harmonies. My favourite 50s album so far!
Loved Big Iron, though I'm pretty sure I recognise this from a computer game. I also liked Master's Call and Hanging Tree a lot. The rest of the album doesn't have any tracks quite as standout, though it is a fun listen. I do enjoy having a story to listen to 👍
Some of these tunes I’ve heard before. Really good
This is BRILLIANT.
couldn't finish
Trolling country
This is a lot more fun to listen to than I expected. I don't listen very often to country and Western music (I don't know what the difference is between those two categories, but I always see them listed as two discrete names, so I'll do the same), but I was somewhat familiar with one or two of these songs because I've heard covers. I like the sound of these tracks. Reminds of music we'll hear playing in the background of a film in which bad things eventually happen; e.g., music like this plays quietly over speakers in a roadside diner as two characters meet late at night to talk about some nefarious thing or we can tell one of them is going to kill the other later, stuff like that, or maybe it's playing on the soundtrack as an aural juxtaposition to someone getting their teeth kicked in. I also enjoy how wonderfully anachronistic yet deeply familiar this all sounded to me. Almost kind of steampunk-ish, you know? There's really nothing out there like this these days, or at least not that I've heard or encountered. I can hear, too, the roots of all sorts of music that followed in a wide variety of styles; that, of course, means this music reflects other earlier influences, and that's cool. I honestly thought this album would either bore or annoy me to know end, but it didn't. Nice. Oh, and is it okay to admit I kind of get a little misty-eyed at the end of "El Paso"? Of course it is.
Fun one. Although I would listen unironically
Fun to listen to, but couldn't imagine listening to this sort of music (this is called country, right?) for pleasure
Very fun. I have to be in a certain mood to vibe so well with this, but today was the day.
This is great stuff. So evocative and such a clean sound. I’d never heard of this dude before
говно тупого говна
"El Paso" alone deserves a spot on this list. That rare country-pop crossover that's as timeless as ever. And every other song on this album sounds like it's trying to be another El Paso. That's meant as a complement. None of have the magic of "El Paso" but are enjoyable nonetheless. It took Breaking Bad and a video game to introduce Marty Robbins to new generations. My second favorite Marty Robbins song is, "You Gave Me A Mountain", but I prefer the hundreds of live versions Elvis did in the '70's during his final fat years.
Very good country album. Really enjoyed this, some tracks I had heard covers of before but not the originals. Real score around 3.75
Рррр
Marty Robbins is a gangster. Dude can sing and his lyrics are so badass. I wasnt expecting to enjoy this but it was fire. Just wish a few of the slower songs were faster. Big iron is best song followed by Billy the kid
For an album that is this old, it sure sounds terrific. Short, and at times funny stories are told by Marty Robbins here accompanied by twangy chords. Great fun.
That’s the Western album box checked then
An adorable collection of brilliant western and western inspired tracks that made me smile from ear to ear. Cheesy as hell but immensely enjoyable.
It is what it is - generic cowboy tale country music, very very repetitive overall
Country just isnt my cup of tea. The first song is pretty good though.
теплый атмосферный кантри, вывозит за счёт гармоний и мелодий, драмки и баса почти нет, что логично. четкие вокальные линии и бэки
These songs are fun, I used to like the song El Paso more, but as I have listened to it more closely, the story is really simple and kind of stupid. A good album for what it is, a collection of westerns.
I like the slower number "They're hanging me tonight" but the rest is just okay to me.
I knew of El Paso, which is just ok. I also knew of Big Iron, which is quite nice albeit a little long. Overall beyond a couple of the songs I'm not too into it, but I respect it.
yep.. totally badass duh
ya no
