And we’re back! This week’s song is Marty Robbins’ 1959 country ballad “Big Iron”, featured in Fallout: New Vegas. Including it in the game was an inspired choice! Not only does the song help establish the game’s pseudo-Western atmosphere, but its lyrics — about a gunslinger who rides into town with a “big iron on his hip” — could easily have been about your exploits as an RPG hero. Enjoy!
Oh boy, Fallout 3 and Fallout NV had some great music. I wonder if there is a GNR mod for New Vegas too.
Hmm, not sure if anyone ported GNR itself over, but there are a bunch of radio station mods in the game: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/searchresults/?cat=88
(I’m playing with the CONELRAD one – it’s good stuff. The PSAs about what to do in the event of a nuclear war, plus the songs about fighting Reds, fit the darkly funny Falloutverse so, so well.)
