Trey Hensley - “Big Iron” (Marty Robbins cover)

A tune from one of my favorite albums ever… Marty Robbins’ “Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs”. If you play guitar, listen to that album and pay close attention to what Grady Martin plays on the whole record.

Guitar - 1967 Harmony Sovereign Deluxe
Strings - D’Addario Nickel Bronze medium gauge (13-56)
Capo - Shubb Fine Tune

This is single handedly on of the best covers of any song I’ve ever heard. And it’s just one singer with a guitar……stunning dude. Stunning.

Quietly carries my guitar to the trash bin. maybe i'll learn the dulcimer, no one can hear them anyway - great job as usual Trey :)

[monkgaming]

Are we not gonna talk about how good that opening was

[RedDawnReadiness]

That guitar solo was absolutely amazing

[elliedrama]

I remember the morning Marty Robbins died…My old man was up at like 4:30 am (which he never was) when I would usually roll outta the house for morning swim practice…He was a real sob but this particular morning was soft and his voice was shaking. He tells me Marty Robbins died…I skipped practice (I was 10) and he made us breakfast and I stayed home all morning listening to his records with the old man. Dude…You made me wanna reconnect with this music years later. Beautiful stuff Trey….Bravo!!!

[pdavik]

Holy mother of God! I wasn’t expecting to be blown away like that. What a legend! Why is he not at the top of the charts?

3:43 the bass for that phrase dude amazing

[ChadRevels]

I can hear ol Reed sayin “PICK IT, SON”! Great job brother!

[nicholasvanhaute]

Every time I listen to this, I imagine that little motif at 1:02 as symbolizing Texas Red. Too cool

[aprilwilcox]

I "discovered" Trey the other day from his grand ole Opry debut.... I prayed he had continued on with his career ... I was so happy when I saw more videos... SOOO talented❤❤❤❤

It's crazy I'm basically an expert on Real Country (self proclaimed ofcourse) and a video popped up after a song someone sent me. Marty introducing a kid at the opry.i knew there was bigger things to come.now I cant stop listening! And what's crazy is like our music taste is exact. I consider everything I've heard as one of my favorites.

[milothecorgi]

Those honky tonk levels shouldn't even be possible. Incredible playing

[wlliamstapp]

Again at 66, I'm sure
you made "Marty" proud❤💯😎👍💥🇺🇸

[jervocoinn]

Unbelievable. Keeping old country alive. One of the best on the planet.

[jamieword]

I'd listen to the radio if this was on it!
