MARTY ROBBINS' GUNFIGHTER BALLADS & TRAIL SONGS
About
MARTY ROBBINS' GUNFIGHTER BALLADS & TRAIL SONGS Performed by Henry Wagons, Emily Lubitz and The CounterfeitFight Night Records presents an encore performance of Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs after the first Melbourne show sold out in just two weeks, with a second date now added at Memo Music Hall on Thursday, June 18.
A cornerstone of American songwriting, this infamous Marty Robbins album is widely regarded as one of the great early concept records — a vivid cycle of outlaws, lawmen and frontier justice. From the drama of “El Paso” to the steely tension of “Big Iron,” it unfolds like a Western film set to music.
Leading the posse is Henry Wagons, whose commanding, narrative-driven vocals bring authority and grit to these frontier tales. Emily Lubitz provides contrast and nuance, her unmistakable voice adding warmth and intimacy to the stark landscapes.
Backed by members of The Counterfeit — a notorious spaghetti-western outfit famed for their grandiose interpretations of music from the cinematic west — the album will be presented as a complete work, start to finish, from its most lonesome acoustic chapters to its full-blooded balladry.
This is not a greatest-hits revue but a rare, immersive re-staging of a landmark album — and a unique chance for Melbourne audiences to step inside one of the most enduring works in Western music history.
Ballarat’s most wanted woman Freya Josephine Hollick will sidle up next to her compadre Fabian Hunter for a string of duets to open the night too.
