The Wagoneers blev inte så långlivade, men deras inspelningar står sig än idag. Det här var deras debutalbum.

"An exceptional debut from the Wagoneers, an Austin-based quartet that combined edgy country and rockabilly. Led by lead singer and principle songwriter Monte Warden, the Wagoneers' sound borrowed heavily from the country leanings of Buddy Holly and his teenage collaboration with fellow Texan Bob Montgomery. Warden has a magnetism which jumps from the grooves, and lead guitarist Brent Wilson adds tight harmony à la Bob to Buddy, or Phil to Don Everly....There really isn't a weak cut here, and co-label head and legendary trumpet player Herb Alpert even lends his legendary trumpet -- in a magnificent Tex-Mex solo flourish -- at the intro of the title track, a story song about the historic fall of the Alamo....The first country album released by A&M, the Wagoneers were a precursor to kindred but more successful bands like the Mavericks. Produced by notable Nashville producer Emory Gordy, Jr., if this record had been released three or four years later, it might have stood a better commercial chance." (Jack Leaver, allmusic.com)
