Wikipedia
Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs is the fifth studio album by Marty Robbins, released on the Columbia Records label in September 1959 and peaking at number six on the U.S. pop albums chart. It was recorded in a single eight-hour session on April 7, 1959, and was certified gold by the RIAA in 1965 and platinum in 1986. It is perhaps best known for Robbins's most successful single, "El Paso," a major hit on both the country and pop music charts, as well as for its opening track, "Big Iron", a song that gained a resurgence in popularity online as an Internet meme after its inclusion in the 2010 video game Fallout: New Vegas.
