@@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!
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
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
I'm so weak my favorite artist covered a song from my favorite videogame. God I love u Colter never change!!!! Whose here only BC of fallout new Vegas???
Cool, he plays without a pick, like I do 99% of the time. My niece and nephews play the same way, I don't know of many others who do. Great version of a classic!
