I grew up on Robbins's gunfighter ballad and trail songs too! To this day, one of my favorites, if not my single favorite disc. I wore out two vinyl copies of this through the years.

Art said: A song that was called THE KILLER by John Lomax. When I did it I called it DOBY BILL. His name probably came from ADOBE-----which should've made him 'DOBE BILL in my rendition.

Hey, Art, that's the guy who invented Photoshop and Illustrator, right? he he.

How bout Sonora's Death Row by Blackie Farrell (my fave version is Richard Shindell's take on it.) David Olney's Dillinger. And I'd include Tom Rusell's sky above, the mud below even though the saloonkeeper/sheriff/judge (and he owned the hearse!) is probably the focal point. Cause it sure wouldn't be much of a song without the brothers Sandoval.
