It's nice to see you together again. I have missed The Other Favorites.

me too! you guys are good together!

Darn, I wanted to be the first to say it

[@thomasmiller9755]

It feels soooo good to see Josh and Carson together again. There is a chemistry between them that just feels good on my soul.

[@beardown2489]

Their voices meld so well. Both are very skilled, on the the guitars as well

[@juliojm9343]

I fully agree

[@jayfalls5689]

You are not alone.

[@ps200306]

Yep, and Carson has toned down the facial contortions. Makes it easier to concentrate on his wonderfully sonorous voice. Fabulous.

[@JPVanderbuilt]

Carson has the golden voice!

[@maxcruz666]

Yes yes indeed and together with Josh it's a can't miss !

[@adamhenderson6846]

Simply outstanding!

Playing through new vegas right now! I think we need a jingle jangle cover next with the bygones 😂

[@Gvcp117]

XDDDD

[@nickh8097]

I'd give all the caps in New Vegas for a soundtrack reinterpretation

[@idontwantahandle]

A whole western movie in one song. Epic Marty Robbin’s tune.

[@gregjohnston3504]

Marty would be proud!!

[@davebrown8853]

So true, and well-said.

[@idontwantahandle]

@@davebrown8853 i’ve listened to this song my whole life, and I never get tired of picturing the scenes in my head, like a movie.

[@dennisconrad6124]

I was thinking basically the same thing.

[@mikeknowles8017]

I'll never forget the day I was sitting in my college dorm studying and listening to some country station on a little clock radio when they announced Marty had died. That was over 40 years ago. So glad his legacy lives on and his work is being honored and interpreted by this younger generation.

[@carsonmckeemusic]

Always a joy to play, man, especially when the iron is THIS big 🤝

[@Bluesphan]

More please! 🥰

[@IAmUndersteer]

Big Iron energy.

[@Randorita]

El Paso, please. It’s more bigger!

[@ronaldsoller6040]

Josh and Carson brought a big iron and killed this song!!

[@shawnreap]

It's always magic when you two get back together. I love how much your friendship shines through the music as much as your talents do.

[@JackFlaps]

we don`t know when this was recorded.

[@BXtremP]

Hell yea, Carson and Josh reunite, it's like having John And Paul together!

[@jimmarrer]

john and paul were original thinkers not imitaters.some people read books,some people write books...big difference.

[@BXtremP]

@@jimmarrer Just because they don't have the success of The Beatles, or the amount of songs they've written, doesn't mean Josh & Carson cannot function and perform with the same alchimy and musical collusion that John & Paul had together, back then. You should be proud, if you worship The Beatles, that much, that those two young blokes have been heavily influenced by them, have tributed their songs and legacy, and launched them on the path of being musician and compose their own songs themselves, which are by the way pretty good. Your comment seems very condescending I'm afraid.

[@jamesriccardi1635]

MARTY ROBBINS WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF YOU YOUNG MEN ..DOING JUSTICE TO HIS SONG !

[@JackFlaps]

you guys were born to do this together. it`s nice of you to share this one. hope all is well

[@mickeymorris40]

These two young men are extremely talented and I thoroughly enjoy listening to them!

[@tonytrue3211]

Josh and Carson...Grady Martin and Marty Robbins would be proud.

[@memoryhero]

Robin Grady went uncredited but was the third man on the song.

[@totsman45]

Nice to see Carson back

[@davidcoy3373]

Good to hear Carson’s voice again 🙂

[@philmccrevis4493]

The depth and tone of Carson's voice is beautiful.

[@markg454]

I concur. This is in his wheel house.

[@pipey3000]

Classic Josh and Carson. We love you guys :)

[@Marielm1]

This is what I’m talking about! You two together are 100% my jam.

[@tjdinfl]

Fabulous! The good thing is: there is a plethora of fun songs like this that can keep you two busy for years! Us 60+ year olds would appreciate it.

[@BillyBoy66]

I wonder if the two of you truly know how awesome it is to see and hear you fellas playing together again... I have really missed to frequent videos of The Other Favorites. I know you both have your schedules but dang, this is so good!

[@mikelawrence4849]

Carson Marty would be proud. Killer.

[@GaborTheNeuron]

Wow! You create magic with two guitars and two voices!

[@hansvangelder]

These two voices together, it’s magic.

[@noahgolan603]

Always a nice afternoon when the other favourites reunite for the odd video!

[@stevegold7307]

You guys have magic together.... don't ever give that up!! .... great job!!

[@foxware5587]

Just bought tickets for the Bygones in Amsterdam (October). A surprise appearance from Carson would be very much appreciated😉

[@derekgarcia1428]

I was thinking the same about the Denver gig.

[@francbryson8315]

Looks like the boys are back in town! More please.

[@636ajnin]

Quality. A rare commodity these days. You guys always deliver in spades.

[@johnkim791]

Real instruments, real voices. What a treat! Thank you :)

[@LilRaspy]

Makes sense that the Other Favorites had to give way while Josh is recording/touring with the Bygones, but hopefully not forever. Good to see you guys together again.

[@tonyrose6776]

Josh’s guitar artistry never fails to amaze and entertain.

[@starandflurry]

Carson's rich bass voice. Josh's harmonies and finger work. Jeebus. AMAZING! Thank you!

[@nickdonnoli]

Josh and Carson, I’ve been listening to you both for years and the two of you are my favorite duo of all time. You remind me of me and my buddy when we played acoustic shows in college. I’m always very excited to see your new releases. Your interpretations of songs, old and new, are always exceptional and often better than the originals.

[@j.danielmostue9819]

I'd love an album of you guys doing nothing but these classics. Just two voices and two guitars.

[@eddibless]

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

[@StretchFletcher]

So good to see, and hear, Carson again. You guys are great together.

[@davidilott1319]

Classic duo making history right there , love it

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

I was a teenager when this was released. I bought the album and would close the door to my tiny bedroom and play it at night when falling asleep. I still have that prized vinyl. Nice job guys.

[@Harlequin333]

Josh's stratospheric guitar and Carson's fantastic voice are an absolute guarantee! Exceptional as only they can be!

[@TinaBray1990]

Josh Turner - Fantastic!...... Carson Mckee - Fantastic!........ Josh Turner + Carson Mckee - PHENOMENAL!!!!!

[@Nipstersongs1]

Marty Robbins "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" 1959. Way beyond classic album. You guys just honored Marty with this wonderful performance. Thank you so much!😊👍

[@thomascussans9844]

The virtuosity from Josh, the utter precision, the startling invention, the absolute certainty, is breath-taking. The whole pressed into service by such perfect judgement of tempo. The song is driven, driven, driven forward without ever losing a sense of its musicality. Or its meaning. Carson meanwhile sings with flawless judgement. What a supreme delight.

[@dennisk.3909]

The other favourites are back again. Hooray!!!!

[@hernanliotti6600]

It's a pleasure to see this guys together again!!!! We need more OTHER FAVOURITES!!!!!

Guitar slinging at its best! Just what I needed this morning. Your all’s attention to detail is worth mentioning. Dynamics and musicality.

[@ronwest217]

My Dad would sing this song time and time again. Thanks for reviving the memory!

[@Peter-ri1qu]

Although Carson or Josh collaborations with others are great, there's few that compare to Carson and Josh together. Growing and nurturing their skills and talents together since their teens creates a synergy in their music which is so appealing, unique and joyful. There's nothing that compares to The Other Favorites.

[@deborahchapman222]

Fantastic guys!! So glad to see y’all back together. Carson, your voice just gets better and better. You sounded amazing. Thanks guys ❤

My mother in laws favorite singer. God rest her soul!

[@spruce_goose_]

So cool to see all of the solo / embellishments on Josh’s parts. My wife and I listen to a ton of Marty Robbins and I’m always blown away at how busy the guitar tracks are under the vocals. A lot going on!! Impressive. Great playing guys.

@@tangyorange6509 Right! I grew up in the 70's on good ol' Rock'n'Roll but my parents had the Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs album. It's a classic and got heavy airplay at home... great memories!

[@christinej2358]

I came over by a link to listen to Big Iron from Tipper’s blog “Blind Pig and The Acorn”. She and her husband Matt are fans of your channel. She said you were great singer Josh and with Carson y’all did an awesome version of Big Iron, and she was right! Great job!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@cowieson]

Superb! I’m not sure if it’s deliberate or coincidental timing but with the recent release of the Fallout TV series I’ve been revisiting a lot of music featured in those games, including this track. So many gems!

[@ThatBobGuy850]

Carson's back! It is always very special when Josh and Carson get together. They should do it more often. Superb rendition of a Marty Robbins classic. As Carson says, "big iron energy" ;-)

[@GhostontheMoor]

That was great! So good to hear you two singing and playing together again.

[@JoshPillault]

Man, you guys have really changed and influenced my taste in music, and even my own writing of it based on the songs you've introduced me to. I've known this song for a while of course, but other ones - I just listen to anything you guys play, because they're nothing but bangers. I trust your taste in music and you guys have gotten me into Americana in a way I never was before. Thank you guys for so many years of incredible songs

[@TheCarromkid]

Its about gosh darned time!

[@bruceringrose7539]

Josh's flatpicking reminded me of Tony Rice! That's high praise!!! Carson's vocals were perfect!

[@paulamay362]

So much fun! Brings back memories of car trips and Marty Robbin’s on the radio. Thank you to “The Other Favorites “!

[@michaelmichaelc1748]

I remember the first time l listened to you perform on utube. 16 tons was the song. One of the ol’ western songs. I was so surprised to see such young good chaps as yourselves singing a song l was brought up with. And doing such a great job as you both did with this one. Actually I do like to jam along with you both. Well if l can keep up. 😂❤️🎼🎸
