Marty Robbins - El Paso

ORIGINATION Essential Country & Western (v/a) CD
RECORDED IN
1959
LAST LISTENED TO
yesterday
RATING
★★★★★

I was rather unsurprised to find more country in my brain this morning. Quite why it was this song, I do not know. I've heard better and catchier in recent days. Not that it's all that bad. Of course it is yet another tale of a drying gunslinger (there do seem to be a lot of them), although this time with a Mexican twist. It might in fact be the pretty Mexican guitar styling that made this one stand out.
