1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much the entirety of ''Music/GunfighterBalladsAndTrailSongs'' counts, though special mention for "Big Iron". |
2 | * CompleteMonster: ''Music/GunfighterBalladsAndTrailSongs''' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzICMIu5zFY Big Iron]]": Texas Red is a vicious {{outlaw}} residing in Agua Fria, where he is [[TheDreaded feared by all]]. A killer of men who takes pride in his murders, Texas Red has gunned down 20 men and [[KillTally marked notches into his pistol as trophies]]. When he hears that an Arizona Ranger is in town looking to arrest him, Texas Red eagerly tries to make the Ranger his 21st kill. |
3 | * CoveredUp: |
4 | ** Guy Mitchell's cover of "Singin' the Blues" leapfrogged Robbins' original on the pop charts. |
5 | ** His version of "Ribbon of Darkness" gave Music/GordonLightfoot his first major success as a songwriter. |
6 | * EpicRiff: The classical guitar opener of "El Paso" and the distinctive (and [[ThrowItIn accidental]]) distorted guitar solo of "Don't Worry", both played by Nashville session legend [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grady_Martin Grady Martin]], are quite well-remembered. |
7 | * MemeticBadass: Thanks to [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Big Iron]], the Arizona Ranger has become one himself. It doesn't matter how many backup you brought, the Ranger will stop at nothing alongside the big iron on his hip. |
8 | * MemeticLoser: Similarly to the Arizona Ranger above, the Texas Red will be remembered as the outlaw who had the guts of being in the Ranger's hitlist and died for it. |
9 | * SignatureSong: "El Paso" and "[[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Big Iron]]". |
10 | * TearJerker: The ending to "El Paso" where the cowboy shares one last kiss with Feleena and [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dies in her arms]]. The sequel, "Feleena", narrating the other side of the story with Feleena [[DrivenToSuicide shooting herself with the cowboy's gun]], ending with the implication that [[TogetherInDeath their spirits still haunt the area in the present day]], is also quite capable of reducing the unprepared to tears. |
