Try anything by Marty, you won't be disappointed because he was one of the top vocalists of the last century and that's no exaggeration. The song came out in late 1959 and was the number 1 song in the USA at the start of the 60's. It's Marty's signature song, but he wrote so many great songs. Check out Elvis singing his 'You Gave Me A Mountain.'
As for the genera of the song. I call it Southwestern Folk. Which is a combination of elements from American country, American folk, and Mexican mariachi styles.
My Daddy's an old man who still sings this song.
I think it's his favorite.☮️
Well now you'll want to hear El Paso City and also Felina.
YUP
Check out the full version.
They didn't kill him for killing the young cowboy, he was killed for stealing the horse.
Big Iron and Devil Woman are also great songs

Big Iron, Faleena and El Paso, the city you will enjoy, too.
They killed him because he stole a Horse not for killing the mam. RIP Marty Robbins.

You should give "Big Iron" by Marty Robbins a listen, that's probably my favorite of his songs!
