Requested by Elder Mike–and hang in there, because if you’ve never heard this song before, you’re in for a surprise.
“Gunfighter Ballads,” by Marty Robbins–my friends across the street had this album, when I was a kid; they played it a lot.
How would you go about turning a “gunfighter ballad” into a Christian parable set to music? Play this song, and you’ll know.
Big Iron is one of my favorite tunes. Good choice with this song here. Robbins has such great stories in his songs.
I still remember “El Paso.”
What a great voice Mary had. Thanks, Elder Mike for requesting this one. It makes me think of one of my favorite songs of all time, “El Paso.”
