One night, a wild young tropes list came here, wild as the west Texas wind!: The other single released from the album, "Big Iron", saw an uptick in popularity after its appearance in 2010's Fallout: New Vegas, where a notorious glitch caused it to play twice as often as expected.
The number one single "El Paso" won Robbins the inaugural Grammy award for Best Country/Western Song over the singer's insistence that it does not belong in the genre at all. Several figures in the Cowpunk movement of the early eighties, especially Jefferey Lee Pierce of The Gun Club, have also cited the album as a direct influence. The album's success, both critical and commercial, helped codify a shift in Country Music in general, helping to differentiate it from rock and roll even after outlaw country narrowed the musical differences. Though Robbins had already made a name as a rockabilly (he was the first singer to cover " That's All Right") and country singer, Gunfighter Ballads was conceived as a folk album.
Marty Robbins' fifth and most famous album, 1959's Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs was, true to its title, a Concept Album of songs about The Wild West.
