The spirit bard of North American Folk, having passed through many before, takes another host, another patina, another color, another amplifier. Colter Wall has always existed and always will. His voice is inside us.

[@Spitfirethedragon]

He sounds almost like Marty Robbins who did this first.

[@zaneslagle8681]

I now have the Marty Robbin’s, Johnny Cash and Colter Wall version off BIG IRON son my PLAYLIST

[@Galaxy-Ryder]

I recommend checking out Michael Martin Murphey's version too, he even sang with Marty

[@patcorbin5375]

I wish he'd do Ghost riders in the Sky.

[@andrewjensen7413]

It's not just the your voice when singing a Great song like Big Iron but the Guitar Playing skills that makes this a Truely Fantastic Cover.👏👏👍

Oh I didn't realize Colter Wall had done a Big Iron cover! Wonderful.

This was the first song i heard from colter wall. At first inthought it didn't sound very promising butnthe moment he started singing I know I would have lot of listening to do. Truly an old soul in the new world.

[@tristanhornberger2961]

This song punches me in the childhood, this and a bunch of the classic stuff would be on my moms CDs along with some classic rock wherever we went.

[@BigBoodyJudy556]

In my opinion, this version tells the story the best. I would give anything for this to be produced into a film by Hollywood. I can already see it, “A classic western action film. Staring an Arizona ranger who journeyed into a small town in the Wild West with a wanted man heavy on his mind.”

[@TheRoadhammer379]

it's word for word identical to the original, knucklehead

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

@@theplasticcactus that doesn't mean much, especially now that he has money. He grew up with politicians as parents. Anyone can get rich, buy a ranch and work on it over the summer. Also, my point is that the songs he writes aren't part of his life's story. Music has become phony, and every Tom, dick and Joe writes a murder ballad or some other song without ever having been around any of that.
