Shootout at the Metripole Salloon
I must still be a kid at heart. I still watch these old shows. This one is from 1976 when I was a junior in high school.
This is the "final ride" of the character JB Books. His last shootout was finished off by his friend Gillom Rogers played by Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham).
Gillom tries to save Books by shooting his attackers but its too late. After Books sees that Gillom avenges the shootings against Books, Gillom gets a nod of approval from Books. It's too bad that Books dies but Gillom is the real hero when he comes to the aide of Books.
Really a good show.

This is teriffic.
1 of 1 found this helpful I first got it from my local library and after listening, I just had to have one for myself. Dwight Yoakam gives a powerful performance on this. I highly recommend it if you like Dwight Yoakam.
The song Rocky Road Blues is on this and was written by Bill Monroe in 1941.
Dwight renews it and makes it sound new.
