Music About the Alamo Through the YearsAllen J. Wiener & William R. Chemerka | May 15, 2009 | one comment | Print | E-mail The opening decade of the 21st century has produced new Alamo music from the likes of such diverse artists as Asleep at the Wheel, K.R. Wood, Riders in the Sky, and Tom Masinter. And, no doubt, new songs will be written that help us “remember the Alamo.” Allen J. Wiener & William R. Chemerka are the authors of The Music from the Alamo: From 19th Century Ballads to Big-Screen Soundtracks (Bright Sky Press, 2009). Allen previously authored The Beatles: The Ultimate Recording Guide. William is founder of the Alamo Society, editor of The Alamo Journal, and author of Alamo Anthology.

One Comment to “Music About the Alamo Through the Years”
I remember as a boy my grandfather would play a song from what I thought was Boxcar Willy about the Alamo. I am trying to find this song and who sang it. The problems I am having are that I only remember these words to the song. “To hell with Santa Anna this is Texas Land”. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Send help to randallguthrie@hotmail.com
