Aw, this is no good, he's obviously lip-synching it!

One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite country artists.

My parents got their first stereo phonograph (a little Silvertone with the speakers built in the top cover, I still remember) when I was a kid and the first LP they bought was Marty Robbins, with El Paso, Big Iron, The Alamo, etc.. I think the LP might have been the Gunfighter Ballads LP but not sure. That LP made an impression on me that lasts to this day.

RIP Marty, you are missed by many.

Yeah, probably the pink one, "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs".

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."

Marty Robbins went into a bar and ordered a drink. The bartender brought it, looked at him, and said, "Marty, why the long song?"
