- "Big Iron" is a country ballad written and performed by Marty Robbins, originally released as an album track on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs in September 1959, then as a single in February 1960 with the song "Saddle Tramp" as the B-side single. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. It tells the story of an Arizona Ranger's duel with an outlaw named Texas Red in the "town of Agua Fria". The townspeople predict the death of the ranger; an unconcerned Texas Red having already killed "one and nineteen" men, but at the moment they meet, the ranger kills Texas Red with the swiftness of the "big iron on his hip." The ranger's draw was so swift, that Texas Red had not even "cleared leather," killing the outlaw in one shot. Robbins's version of the song reached number 5 on the Billboard Country chart and number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1960. The B-side, "Saddle Tramp" was not included on Gunfighter Ballads, but was later placed on Robbins' 1966 LP The Drifter. The song is also featured in the 2010 video game Fallout: New Vegas on the in-game radio stations, 'Mojave Music Radio', ‘Black Mountain Radio’ and 'Radio New Vegas'. The popularity of the game helped spur a revival of interest in Robbins' music in the 21st century. In the decade following the video game's release, "Big Iron" became an Internet meme, gaining popularity through remixes and Photoshop parodies as well as its use on YouTube. (en)
- Big Iron est une ballade country de Marty Robbins, initialement publiée en tant que piste de l'album Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs en septembre 1959 puis comme single en février 1960. La ballade raconte l'histoire du duel d'un ranger anonyme avec un hors-la-loi appelé « Texas Red » dans la ville d'Agua Fria. La ville prédit la mort du ranger (« Texas Red » avait déjà tué 20 hommes), mais le ranger tue « Texas Red » grâce à la rapidité du « gros fer sur sa hanche » (« Big Iron on his hip ») Brisant la tradition des confrontations de l'ouest sauvage américain qui se passaient à midi, le duel commence à 11:20 du matin. La version de Robbins de Big Iron a atteint la 26e place des charts du Billboard Hot 100 en avril 1960. La chanson est aussi présente dans le jeu vidéo Fallout: New Vegas. (fr)
