The final episode of Breaking Bad was titled "Felina". When I saw that watching it the first time, I knew where the story was going. Him pulling the tape case out and it coming on the car stereo were a wonderful touch, like a private wink to Marty Robbins fans. The last #1 song on the 50's and first #1 song of the 60's. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Dad was career Army, retiring when I was 11. My concept of a "long car ride" was shaped by cross-country drives when he PCSed. Riding with Dad was defined by hours and hours of precisely two artists on 8-track or cassette: - Marty Robbins, mostly the Gunfighter/Cowboy variety; - Johnny Cash. Hated both at the time. Love 'em both now. | |||

Had a similar relationship with Don Williams. I have heard and listened to Marty Robbins Gunfighter ballads and trail songs my whole life. It's probably the only thing I own on vinyl LP, 8-track tape, cassette tape, CD and MP3. A few of them multiple copies. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

My friend, who lives there, tells me there is still a Rosa's Cantina in El Paso but also read that the one in the song was inspired by a cantina elsewhere. | |||

My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat. And Big Iron is a great song too! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

As is Ballad of The Alamo. Marty Robbins has always been one of my favorites. | |||

Many people did not know that Marty had a son, Ronnie, who is a singer as well. Close your eyes and enjoy... ____________________________________________________________ Money may not buy happiness...but it will certainly buy a better brand of misery A man should acknowledge his losses just as gracefully as he celebrates his victories Remember, in politics it's not who you know...it's what you know about who you know | |||

Marty Robbins is thought by many to have had one of the best, if not the best voice in country music. | |||

Thank you! That cover by his son Ronnis was excellent! Man what I would give to be in a bar listening to either of them singing... | |||
