I'm sure this has been covered before, but couldn't actually find it.
What are your favorite, most iconic baritone guitar tunes? I'll start:

There is some great Baritone/ Guitar VI playing on Duane Eddy’s Road Trip album (2011)

The evocative solo from Wichita Lineman, but I have many "favorites". I think I read somewhere that the original recording was played by Glen using Carol Kaye's Danelectro six string bass.

I have to say that The Lonely Surfer really works for me. It’s a perfect showcase for the Bass VI.

Loving this. I ordered a baritone (Reverend Descent W) which won't be here for a few weeks, so I have time to bone up!

Great thread everyone. Daddy - I was resisting the temptation to mention Glen's song. I am glad you did. I really need to get one a baritone!

This is a mighty great thread! The Glen Campbell baritone parts are just so good.

Here's one for you. Jack Nitzsche's The Last Race from Village of the Giants. Tarantino used it for opening credits of Death Proof, with some EQ work and edited for length.

I remember Broken Arrow the John Travolta movie featured Duane Eddy on Baritone licks. I’m going to have to give that one another watch and see if I remember correctly.
