"Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" represents the fifth studio album by Marty Robbins, released under the Columbia Records label in September 1959. Making its mark on the music scene, it peaked at number 6 on the U.S. pop albums chart. Remarkably, the album was recorded in a single eight-hour session on April 7, 1959, showcasing Robbins' talent and efficiency.
 
The album's enduring legacy is underscored by its certifications, earning Gold status from the RIAA in 1965 and later achieving Platinum status in 1986. It remains etched in musical history, best remembered for Robbins' iconic single, "El Paso," which made waves on both country and pop music charts. Additionally, the album's opening track, "Big Iron," experienced a resurgence in popularity after its inclusion in the 2010 video game Fallout: New Vegas. Years after its release, "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" continued to captivate audiences, with members of the Western Writers of America selecting six of its songs among the Top 100 Western Songs of all time. Among these classics are Robbins's own compositions, including "El Paso," "Big Iron," and "The Master's Call," alongside timeless favorites like "Cool Water," "Billy the Kid," and "The Strawberry Roan." This album stands as a testament to Robbins' enduring influence on the Western music genre.
