Big Iron ~ Banjo Cover

Hi Everyone! 🌿🪲 Another Thursday another banjo cover. Here is my take on Big Iron 🪕🤎
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 among 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 24
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 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
20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip
21 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 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's 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 went 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
Big iron on his hip

There is just something about anyone that can play the Banjo. Old souls. Thank you.

It’s definitely my favourite thing❤

It's America's own. Banjo is pure America.

Seeing this comment on nearly everything Fallout sometimes makes me wish I wasn't a fan.

[@garyturner9999]

i first heard this song in fallout when i was 12. Now I'm 24, and still enjoying it -thank you, all the way from Scotland.

[@talisetunes]

Would love to go to Scotland one day! Fallout is a great gateway to old-time country lol

literally exactly same here except from England haha

As an American from The South I feel honored to be here. May I suggest the Iron Horse album of Modest Mouse covers as a humble representation of Bluegrass music... kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3q6apV-nKyBm5Ysi=2Jx4dfqvkfebfosf

[@donwilkie]

A 67 year old fellow here ,I was 8 or so when I first heard Marty Robbins sing this tune and I am sure he is up in country western heaven smiling down on you right now .Keep up the great work!

[@xOriginalGamerOG76x]

I thought exactly the same.

I was very impressed by your performance and singing. I hope you have a good day and week. From Japan. 🎶M countryboy🎸

[@brianvernon7754]

banjo AND singing!! Very impressive; loved your voice as well. What a rendition.

[@talisetunes]

Thank you☺️

[@PaxilRose]

My grandfather used to play me this song on 8track in the eighties. A whole spaghetti western in my imagination. I played music professionally for decades but never wanted to try and touch this. This is the first time I've heard this song sound so accessable. Well fuckin done, you just made it human and terrestrial finally.

[@bensagerman8870]

Your grandpaps sounds like a fine man sir. Thanks for sharing.

[@patrickodonovan5066]

That was superb. You play beautifully. You sing like an angel.

[@talisetunes]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Bearclaw865]

Marty Robins would approve!🫡👏🏻

[@talisetunes]

❤❤❤

[@MTimWeaver]

One of my favorite Marty Robbins songs, and first time hearing it on the banjo. Lovely.

[@talisetunes]

Mine too! And thank you❤

[@JesseGreenwood-h1o]

Oh, you are lovely! I absolutely loved Marty R's Gunfighter Ballads growing up, knew the whole album...so glad to see that it hasn't been lost to Time...and you are an ACE on that banjo! Cheers!❤😊❤😊❤

[@talisetunes]

Thank you!!🦋

[@Joey-JoJo-Jr.64]

Absolutely a timeless classic very well presented by a very talented young lady

[@joncasso]

Fantastic video to stumble upon

[@EskiJob32]

That’s some mighty fine clawhammer playing!

[@talisetunes]

Thank you!❤

[@ramen244]

A classic by Marty Robbins. Excellent cover!

[@talisetunes]

Thank you!

This is an incredible cover. Wow. Thank you.

[@talisetunes]

Thank you too!❤

[@GreenGordonPolitics]

A friend of mine used to often play this in my old restaurant, he's passed now, but I can still remember him singing it with acoustic geetar, heavy bass line Thanks for uploading

[@talisetunes]

what a beautiful memory ❤

[@johncolletta1131]

So good! The fretting hand is surprisingly simple while the plucking hand is declaring independence for its own country. I'm in love.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

What a poetic way to describe clawhammer banjo.

[@TheinternetArchaeologist]

Ring-a-ding baybee... Marty would be proud

[@alicornpaladin9115]

AAAHHH!!! It's like the story is spreading across America. Marty Robbins told the tale in the Southwest. Colter Wall took the story up the Rocky Mountains into the Northwest. And now you've brought it to Appalachia! Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[@talisetunes]

I am actually from Canada! 💗 But spend a lot of time in the Canadian Appalachians 😊

[@jmosher4251]

This song is how I felt walking into that damn casino my first playthrough. I was there for blood or death. 😂

[@finnmccool684]

She was great in the movie 'Let the Right One In.'

[@edwardmiller9611]

She is very talented.

[@Thatdutchguy03]

The best clawhamer improv i have seen so far

[@trolltrooper8]

I could wander through the Mojave, listenning to that

[@greenman4508]

It takes a lot of nerve to try to fill Marty Robbin’s’ shoes… not sure how a little thing like you managed it, but you nailed it! That’s my jam yo

[@victorbazan2676]

I was expecting this to be 14+ years old. When kids still listened to their parents’ and grandparents’ albums and cd’s to find what is truly music. Thank you for posting. This talent shouldn’t be kept to oneself.

[@kennethmoles4643]

I really love your voice! ❤️❤️❤️

[@talisetunes]

Thanks so much!

I just got back from camping in northern maine. This banjo is making me feel like im floating over the amazing landscape of pine trees, mountains and rivers.

This deserves a million views.

A beautiful rendition. My dad would've absolutely loved this and I'm smiling imagining him watching this with me. Thank you for posting it for the world to listen to.

[@k1nddara20]

I LOVE this cover! This is how the Song is supposed to sound. A Banjo, singer and campfire in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a story to tell.

[@dawgosa8505]

Much love. Beautiful banjo, beautiful voice, beautiful woman. Thank you

[@celticmagick]

There's just something magickal about a well-played banjo. Lovely voice and well played. Thank you.

[@asouthernlad717]

I used to play Marty’s one in an old LP…almost wore it out. great to hear this version. Well done.

Big Iron! I've been waiting for this!

[@talisetunes]

This song gets stuck in my head at least once a week. Can’t believe I haven’t done it yet!

[@forgedoutcomes]

@talisetunes It comes up on a playlist for me every once in a while, but I've never heard it on a banjo before. This was great!

[@MakerBoyOldBoy]

Tender tunes, as usual. Big Iron is most welcomed. With well loved popular songs as this, is it possible to consider Ghost Riders in the Sky or is too slow for banjo? The song is just so ethereal.

[@lonzo61]

Frailing! Nice work all around.

[@TheLukeSchnabel]

This was such a wonderful find! Thank you for recording this!

[@riccisamurai]
