      Soon after Marty died, I heard an interview of him, and he talked about writing a 4th song in the El Paso series. He even sang a few lines:"If I'm the cowboy that rode in and out of El Paso/ Who is Felina, where does she live in this life? / If I'm the cowboy that rode back and died in El Paso, / Then is Felina My Woman, My Woman, My Wife?"
      I wish he could have recorded that song.

    Marty Robbins, was an American singer, songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist & NASCAR racing driver. Robbins was one of the most popular and successful country & western singers for nearly five decades 40's-80's. He had so many hits such as "Singing The Blues", "Devil Woman", "A White Sport Coat", "The Story Of My Life", "Don't Worry", "Big Iron", "Knee Deep In The Blues", "Honkytonk Man", "Don't Worry 'Bout Me", "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" etc.

    Marty's ballads are legendary in country music. One of the great story tellers. In the pop/ folk genre you need to check out Jim Croche another story teller. We seasoned citizens can direct you to just about any kind of music pre- 1980's . We didn't have video games or internet, we spent a lot of time and money building and listening to our stereo systems.

    I've always loved the Tex-Mex feel to this song, but with so many classical Mexican stylings, the tremolo strumming patterns and riffs, plus the overall musical theme of the arrangement. The vocals are perfect, as if they're singing a traditional _corrido,_ but one translated into English. You feel transported back to Old Mexico in the mid-19th century, seated at your own table in Rose's Cantina, witnessing the tragic events unfold in person. Powerful storytelling!

      I was also one of those kids whose father had this album -- "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs", with a red cover and Marty, dressed head to toe in black as a gunfighter, with his right hand on the six-shooter he has just drawn from its holster, as if drawing on another desperado. I listened to this album frequently and knew every song by heart. All of them seemed authentic to me, and I "saw" Marty in every song...but maybe they weren't actual songs from the period. My father was an amateur guitar player and singer and I watched him as he played this song at dozens of friends and relatives parties, where people who knew the song would chime in on phrases such as "out where the horses were TIED ...." This song won Robbinson the Grammy in 1959, so you know it was hella-popular! Other great songs on this memorable album: Big Iron, Cool Water, They're Hanging Me Tonight, and The Master's Call. The whole album was recorded in one day in 8 hours ... you know, with actual musicians, not digitally created tracks and beats and auto-tune. It was a different time. Thanks for reacting to this song, Brit.

    Marty Robbins did an album called Gunfighter Ballads that was full of similar songs. This one and one called “Big Iron “ were the most popular songs from the album. When they are doing a fast draw they will put the holster down where your hand just rests on your pistol grip and then they will tie the bottom of the holster to your leg so it stays where you put it when you pull the pistol out. Despite what Hollywood and story tellers say this is a very uncomfortable and awkward way to wear your holster when on a horse. It takes a lot of practice to be a quick draw artist and it is really neat to watch the competitions of it but most amateurs sooner or later will shoot themselves in the foot or leg or if they are really unlucky in the groin,although that usually happens when they put the firearm in the waistband of their pants.

    • @Falcun21
      @Falcun21 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Steve Davis - Luke Short was a Western writer, but before that he was a barkeep in Dodge City during the Earp years and he got into a gunfight and both he and his opponent had their pistols stuck in their back pockets. As to how a gun is/was worn, it depended on your rig as to how comfortable it was. Many gunfighters wore custom rigs that were altered to fit better. Random cowboys just wore a gun in a holster on their belt and usually it was high on the hip or in a cross-draw holster. Gunfighters wore their guns any number of ways, just whatever was comfortable for them and allowed for their fastest draws. The low slung gun was worn, but it wasn't as low as you describe, you wanted your palm to rest at the same height as the cylinder so your hooked fingers caught the grip at the same time as the lifting action allowed your thumb to catch the hammer and pull it back to firing position all in one smooth motion. If you watch the fastest draw on TH-cam, the guy positioned his hand in the same way, he just wore his gun canted forward and much higher to account for his short arms. If your gun butt was lower, then you had to reach for the hammer with your thumb on the draw which is an added action that is unnecessary.

  • @chrisbricky7331
    @chrisbricky7331 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    The funny thing about this story is the young cowboy drew his gun first and our anti hero then drew and killed him. In most towns in the west this would be considered self defense and probably never would have even seen a court room. The real error he made, was as he fled the cantina, he stole a horse. Stealing a horse is a hanging offense, no excuses in the west. So they formed a posse and chased him because he was a horse thief, not because he killed the young cowboy. Sad but true in most cases in the old west. Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Chris

    Marty Robbins has a son, I think named Ronnie Robbins.. I randomly found him a couple of years ago on an old performance with him and Marty when he was like 16-17. He carried Marty out on stage, and they sang together.
    Then I found a video of him performing a medley of Marty's songs a couple of years after Marty passed away, when he looked to be in his mid 30's. Then I watched a couple of more recent videos where he sang this song and another song. He was a hit older.
    It was such a trip, because I went from not knowing Marty had a son that sang, to watching him age through life in a matter of minutes. He sounds almost exactly like Marty, and even sings with the same exact facial expressions and mannerisms.

      There was a session crew known as The Wrecking Crew that backed up hundreds of Top 40 Albums in LA through the '60s & '70s. Glen Campbell was one of the best guitar players of that time, backing up The Beach Boys, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor and hundreds more. Without those session players, there would have been very few independent musicians capable of producing a record. Many of them eventually released their own solo acts but many didn't.

    Marty's cowboy ballads are all amazing, and worth listening to. Almost everyone remembers “El Paso” (1959), but few people realize that it was the first of a trilogy of songs about El Paso. In 1966, Marty recorded a prequel called “Feleena (from El Paso).” It tells the story of Feleena, the Mexican girl who falls in love with the wild cowboy from the first song. In it, we learn her history as well as her tragic end. Then in 1976, Marty completes the trinity with the song “El Paso City.” In this song, a passenger on a flight over El Paso City is reminded of a song he heard long ago about a cowboy and a girl. Marty had planned to do a fourth song, “The Mystery of Old El Paso,” but died before he could complete it.

    The "shoestring" that holds his holster is for the so called "quickdraw" rig. The holster is hung low, more on his thigh than on his hip, and the leather thong holds the holster against his leg and keeps it from flopping around. It's used in a LOT of old western movies, though in reality it wasn't invented until the mid 20th century for, you got it, the movie industry.

Marty tell great stories - Big Iron, Cool Water, Ghost Riders in the Sky, etc. Peace be with you and yours.

    I met Marty Robbins at the airport in Salt Lake City...in the early 70s....I was five....He was walking by and I recognized him immediately. I said "Hey! You're Marty Robbins!! ...He said "Yes, I am.."...He stopped and talked to me for 5-10 minutes....I told him my favorite song of his was I WALK ALONE. He was soooo approachable and generous with his time. That's pretty great thing to a five year old...

    Marty was one talented and iconic man. The story telling in his ballads continues to win new fans for him today. Starting in '70 a group of friends and I would go to the Daytona 500 and less frequently the Firecracker 400, usually staying in the infield. Marty ran his own car, I think in '72 or '73, and had enough NASCAR racing talent to qualify and finish some of those races.

    Britt it is so wonderful to see a young person such as your enjoying a Texas troubadour most of his songs are late 1800s stories , if you do some digging you will find that the songs he sings have a history behind them. glad you enjoy songs that I grew up singing along to. I'm , 75 yrs young and you make my heart sing with joy that there is hope for your generation yet GOD BLESS

  • @Gutslinger
    @Gutslinger ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Marty Robbins said his music is western, and he made a clear distinction between country and western.
    In an interview clip I watched of him.. I agree with him, but people today don't know the difference. Probably because I don't even think western music is really being produced much today.

    Marty Robins, to this day is the best story teller. I hope you do "Feleena" and "El Paso City" in that order. If you want another beautiful story, Check out "Patches" by Dickey Lee 1962 (black and white pics is the best version).

    As a child I lived in Las Cruses New Mexico and also in a very small town called LeMesa New Mexico which was between Las Crusis and Elpaso. In the late 60’s when I was a child we had some Real Cowboys who were then much older and went to our church. One old gentleman that went to our church was a man name JL Eslinger who died in 1976 but what amazed me was he was born in 1889 and was 21 in 1900 and was a real old school cowboy. This song was one of my fathers favorite songs and he loved stories of the WILD WEST so this song brings back a lot of old west memories for me

    When I was about 4 or 5 I was sick, and my father did advertising for a NASCAR sponsor. we were in the company RV, and that year Loretta Lynn was spokesperson for the sponsor, and Marty Robbins was driving a car, and had crashed his car. They both sang me to sleep, lying in her lap. I'll never forget that.

    What you was calling a shoestring. Is a strip of leather to hold the holster down. So when you draw your gun it would come out easier! It also keeps your gun next to your leg while you're riding your horse or walking!

    The shoestring around his is part of a fast draw holster, that string is tied to the bottom of the holster so when he draws the gun will come out of the holster.

    My all-time favorite singer!! My mother loved Marty as well, and I knew every word of this song (and many other Marty Robbins songs) by the time I was 5 years old. I'm 66 now, and the songs and his voice are as fresh to listen to now as they were all those years ago. My personal favorite song of Marty's has to be Don't Worry - you should check that one out. He wrote many of his songs as well. You can listen to every song Marty Robbins ever recorded, and I can guarantee he will sound fantastic singing it. Marty was an artist beyond compare, and his incredible voice will live on forever! 💖💖💖

    There were a few singers that embraced the old west, American history, and some world history. Marty Robbins was one of if not the best, those artists were responsible for my love of History and American history. After 3rd grade they helped me work on math in history class or sneak in a nap. The other guy went for his pistol, Marty just cleared leather first

    Robbins’ first hit song was A White Sports Coat (And A Pink Carnation) released in 1957 followed by El Paso in 1959.
    Perhaps one of my favorite songs of his is Don’t Worry released in 1961.
    It was his 7th #1 hit.
