"Remember the Alamo" became a battle cry of the ages.
This is America as it gets. If you've served or if you have a military family, this will bring tears to your eyes.
The greatest balladeer ever. Loved him since childhood
Marty Robbins, was an American singer, songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist & NASCAR racing driver. Robbins was one of the most popular and successful country & western singers for nearly five decades 40's-80's. A lot of his songs told stories. He had so many hits such as "Singing The Blues", "Devil Woman", "A White Sport Coat", "The Story of My Life", "El Paso", "Don't Worry", "Big Iron", "Knee Deep In The Blues", "Honkytonk Man", Don't Worry 'Bout Me", "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" etc.
Lots of etceteras to enjoy.
Remember the Alamo!!!!! Remember Goliad!!!!!
Think you’d have interest in any of three Johnny Horton songs.. “North To Alaska”, “Sink The Bismarck” and “Battle of New Orleans”, the last about a battle of US against British in The War of 1812.
As a Texan, I’ve listened to Marty Robbins since I can remember. Thanks for bringing back the memories!🙂
Almost every one of Marty Robbins’ ballads are masterpieces of storytelling! This one in particular is a history lesson!
It’s a movie in a song every time
Robbins was one of a kind, and lot of his songs told stories. He loved the old west but had many contemporary hits like, "Singing The Blues", "Devil Woman", "Utah Carrol", "The Story of My Life", "Don't Worry", "Big Iron", "Knee Deep In The Blues", "Honkytonk Man", Don't Worry 'Bout Me", "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" etc.
Utah Carrol. My all time favorite. ❤
If you like these kinds of songs you should listen to “The Battle of New Orleans” by Johnny Horton. 🤗
The story of the Alamo is dear to the hearts of all Texans. We appreciate this song and its tribute to the battle that set the tone for the independent spirit of Texas.
My uncle brought my grandma record player out & we payed records all day about mid nite we. Stop another. Uncle of mine would sing & play his guitar
He tells it in a haunting yet beautiful manner.
These mean held off thousands for all those days, with no real medical care or back up. All in the attempt to remain free from the rule of Mexico.
This battle was the final straw that lead the start of the Mexico American War.
"Remember the Alamo!" Is a battle cry they would use during the war.
What is left of the Alamo still stands as a National historic landmark.
Another song sung in a similar story telling fashion is Johnny Cash The Ballad of Ira Hayes which is about one of the Marines who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.
Marty Robbins was definitely an old school legend.
Being a life long Texan, this song means a lot to me. God Bless the men of the Alamo!!
I grew up in California, but the story of the Alamo was famous and part of our studies. The first time I had a work meeting in San Antonio, I checked into the hotel then went searching for the Alamo. If I needed to rent a car or take a bus, I was going to the Alamo. When I asked the clerk at the front desk, I was surprised to find out it was about two blocks away from the hotel. All the history, all the movies showed the Alamo with nothing around it. But now it was right there in the middle of town. It was a lot smaller than I thought, but still impressive. Remember the Alamo!!!! PS: Marty Robbins is also an American legend and hero to me!!
The reason it seems smaller is because much of the complex no longer exists. Google a map of the Alamo and you will see that it was much larger than it is now,
😢I'm Texan back 5 generations. Then my maternal grandma was full Mexican. This song never fails to make me tear up. If I'm watching the movie, I squall like a baby .
Marty was one of the greatest singers! There was no ballad he couldn't master! One of my favorites by him is "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife". I don't think he wrote that one but he sings it beautifully! "Big Iron" and "El Paso" are also great ones!
Marty did write "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife," and many other of the greatest ballads ever.
That’s what Marty does, paints a picture in your mind, one I love is Man walks among us, ❤
Marty Robbins was the greatest!
i love this song and Marty Robbins music in general James Bowie from Kentucky also fought in the Alamo , Thank you for this reaction it was a true treat.
My Woman My Woman My Wife he wrote in the hospital after one of his many heart attacks. It is perhaps my favorite.
It became the Texas battle cry to this day " Remember the Alamo". Love the song it always makes me cry. Enjoy
Can't go wrong with a Marty Robbins song. I think my favorite of his songs is "A White Sport Coat (and a Pink Carnation). It was released in 1957 and my father wore a white coat and a pink carnation when he took my mother to the prom. 💌
I don't think I have seen him on your channel, so can I suggest Buck Owens as someone to listen next. His "Act Naturally" was covered by the Beatles and Ringo recorded it with Buck in 1989.
Been one my fav's since I was a kid in the early 70s. Listen to Gunfighter Ballads album...so good.
The American resolve. That battle would be over in 5 min now days. Imagine 185 men and women behind a stone wall holding off 5000 men with the newest artillery of the times. I wonder if there are 185 men willing to face those odds these days. Just a thought. Great song, love Marty's voice.
There is two more songs you need too hear 1. Called fighting side of me by Merle haggard 2. Teddy bear red divine this one is a tear maker
My dad’s favorite singer. I remember the album Gunfighter Ballads, my dad listened to it almost every weekend.
The best Country-Western Storyteller of all time! It's a rabbit hole! El Paso, Big Iron, Devil Woman, El Paso CIty, Mr. Shorty, and many more.
Oh such a lovely reaction, I am happy that you really enjoyed it, I am always moved by the second of taps when all the men died in the song. Marty Robbins was such a wonderfully talented story teller, I truly hope you check out more!
A really good song by Marty is The Master's Call I believe you will love it
More Marty Robbins, good. GOOD. (I take credit for all these really old songs getting here, whether it's justified or not.)
I think my favorite song of his from this time was El Paso, it's such a catchy tune.
I am from Texas. Lived here all my life. Of course I know about the Alamo. I know many songs by Marty Robbins. But I never heard this one before
Wonderful reaction. I had never heard this song. Marty Robbins has many truly wonderful story songs.
I've been listening to Country Music for 63 years now and I've never heard this song either. Where have they been hiding it?
@@jamesbrink7161It was on the soundtrack from the movie 1960. I remember it from my brother's album. But I don't think I ever heard it anywhere else. Like the song Ain't I Right. My mother had that on a reel to reel tape and I never heard that again until a few years ago.
@@jamesbrink7161 In San Antonio! 🤗 😊 Come visit!!
Marty’s Big Iron on his Hip is a great song with wonderful storytelling. You should watch the John Wayne movie The Alamo. Wonderful!!
“El Paso” you’ll love it!
My father, my brother, and I can sing most all verses of this any time we are requested to do so. Remember the Alamo.
As a guy born in San Antonio, that has a Basset Hound named Alamo, I love this. Actually drove past the Alamo today haha. Classic here man
Mr.Shorty is a good one ,as is Big Iron
I grew up with some jihn wayne movies (hecpassed 5 years before I was born, so no new ones, but there was a lit of john wayne movies on weekends and had a bit of vhs/dvd collection of his films) and remember a pirtion of rhis song being reworked and played at the end of the version of the alamo he was in with Richard Widmark.
Love this tune...
And a shout out to the great composer Dimitri Tiomkin, who wrote the music!
The 2 best story telling songs he has are El Paso and El paso City. My favorite by him. He has so many great songs.
The El Paso trilogy is great
Can't beat a bit of Marty Robbins! Greetings from the Wild West (of Hull)...Hessle! ;-)
a lot of marty robbins songs are great, but there are so many slept on such as "prairie fire" "five brothers" "ballad of bill thaxton" "ava maria morales" and so many more
Grew up in Houston Texas. So of course the Alamo was multiple field trips thru school. It's a chilling place to stand in and look around
Marty Robbins sang a lot of songs about the old Western USA. He sang a lot of different genres of music 🎶. He is one of my favorite singers. RIP 🙏
Try listening to Don't Worry or All the Way. Those are different.
It is a trilogy with fallen being the 2nd. Listen in that order. Great storey telling.
God bless texas
Grady Martin on guitar and my late grandfather was born in San Antoine
The greatest voice ever in Country Music. His range and control rivals Elvis.
Try "don't Worry Bout Me," or "Love Me."
That way you will gather a sample of his vocal range.
There are many live versions of Marty's songs out there, and they are great also.
Sorry if I prefer Marty.
Oh my. Marty Robbins is such a country music legend.
Hey man! Big fan of your channel and congrats on passing 100k subscribers! You earned it! Keep up the great work! 👏🏻
@@taylorfamilyreactions Thank you so much. So happy to see you've got 40k. Was scrolling through my instagram messages and ran across your message from years ago and was like I need to check in cause it's been a minute. Much love
I remember that well! It was some great advice you offered which set me on this journey! I owe you a lot! 🙏
@@taylorfamilyreactions Nah, just a grain of salt that I think all reactors should be aware of. You've put in the time and hard work and it's awesome to see where you're at.
Marty Robbins was world champion storyteller the story of the Alamo is an incredible story. Unfortunately was also somewhat accurate historical. I would suggest a man with a big iron on his hip mr. Shorty and when the Savior called all by Marty Robbins.
Check out these songs Big Iron and the trilogy El Paso, Faleena, and El Paso City. Great songs
Wow! I am awed .
One of the best of Marty Robbins was "Big Iron" A must listen too.
One of my top ten fave singers❤
'I'm a good ol rebel' by "2nd carolina string band"
My parents went to see Marty Robbins in concert in the early 70s, but Marty was drunk, threw a tantrum and stormed off the stage before he sang. Don Williams was the opening act, so he came back on to finish the concert. My parents wouldn't listen to Marty for several years after that! But, eventually they got over it. Along with George Jones, and many others, it seemed to be a not uncommon thing for some singers to be drunk, and perhaps on other things, and skip out on concerts!
Strange, I always understood Marty was teetotal. There is nothing Marty liked better than appearing before an audience and I have NEVER heard or read any story like you've just told.
@@tarquin4592 Well, I'm sure my mom AND my dad were just lying to me...
Bravo!! Well said brother, totally enjoyed ur reaction.
PS: my wife n I really dig ur accent. (we’re from Los Angles, USA)
I've been a fan of Marti Robbins for a long, long time. I've never heard this song!!
This song gets me all fired up considering what's happening at the border now. Texans don't like tyrants. I had an ancestor at the Alamo, Calvin Albert Grimes. When we were kids my dad made us feel that being a Texan was more important than being an American. It was never truer than it is right now in these divided states of America.
Great story telling in this ballad.
Marty was one of the all-time greats! They don't make 'em like him anymore!
Many thanks from 🇺🇲
Loved Marty sure do miss his music and that awesome voice
I’ve been to the Alamo
Marty was my favorite singer of all time.
The full story to this war is crazy. Although the Mexican Army's numbers are debatable, it's said to have been at least 2000 at the Alamo. Then their full army went on a killing spree through TX for a or so. Then the remaining Texas and Tennessee soldiers regrouped, about 900-1000 strong, and they ambushed Santa Ana's army and beat them in 19 minutes, capturing Santa Ana soon after.
The great Grady Martin was the guitarist!
Hey, Carter Family! Y'all aren't from around here in Texas!? That's OK. My city is really friendly so come visit us any time.
Decades ago (but I just found out) my co-workers were asked if there were any actual Texans who worked at the company that had "Texas" in its name. They would say, "See that blonde with the big hair and bigger mouth? She's the one."
So I have a request for a Marty Robbins song about a Texas "town" 600 miles west of San Antonio. I see a lot of comments here that mention it as a great song. It's "El Paso"!! And we even have Rosa's Cantina AND Marty Robbins Park.
Glad you liked the song that tells the history of my birthplace city and its landmark chapel which is all that is left now.
Hope you consider "El Paso".
Oh, I suggest that you use a recording of Marty and his group of super singers for your reaction.
Ah. America’s stubborn teen years. Lol
David Crockett was a real person and he has more folklorish. old wives tales told about him than anybody except maybe Chuck Norris but those are just jokes.
Things like when he was 3 years old he killed his 1st bear. Or how his daddy taught him that when you go hunting you never take more than one cartridge of ammo because that's all that any real hunter should ever need. And one day he got set upon by both a bear and a cougar and because he only had 1 bullet he shot A-sharp rock that was in between the 2 of them split the bullet and ran both of them off because each half hit 1 of them. He's even got a story ripped straight from Greek mythology about killing rattlesnakes in his crib as a baby like Hercules did Then use the rattlers as toys.
Obviously it's all bullshit but you gotta wonder how much the man actually did accomplish for people to want to make up those kind of stories about him. He was probably one hell of a guy to know personally.
Horton a contemporary of Marty Robbins
This portrays why tru Texans are unique, even till today
It'd be nice to get content about the story of this battle. Mexican General Antonio de Santa Ana had been President of Mexico in 1833. In 1836 he marched into Texas (which was territory of Mexico) when US settlers caused a rebellion there. Mexican troops greatly outnumbered the Americans and won the battle at The Alamo.
In 1836 during the battle of San Jacinto, Santa Ana's 1,300 troops were defeated by 900 Americans led by Sam Houston.
In 1845 the US-Mexican war came about after the US annexed the territories of Texas, New Mexico and California. Eventually the two countries signed a treaty where in exchange of $15 million, Mexico ceded to the United States the territories of New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, Texas and western Colorado.
Alamo
Heroes of texas
You can't go wrong with anything of Marty Robbins catalog. You should listen to songs like Ballad of the Bandit, San Angelo, Pride and the Badge, Mr Shorty or The Masters Call.
You should listen to Travis letter by Brian Burns
The alamo is how tennessee got its name the volunteer state and are football team the Tennessee volunteers ut
Loved your reaction! Could you please react to more George Jones, you havent done a jones reaction in a while, kind regard
I think it would be fair to call Marty Robbins the Troubadour of Western Ballads
Ghost Riders in the Sky
A lovely myth. They say Remember the Alamo was a war cry during the Mexican War. They weren't fighting for freedom. They were already free US citizens. San Antonio was a city in Mexico. Houston wanted to set up Texas as an independent republic, separate from the United States or Mexico.
Very few songs (or anything) put a bigger lump in my throat than this song.
You cut the first part of the song off
While it's always been romanticized, one of the leading reasons they rebelled was because slavery was outlawed. It's not quite as romantic when you know the actual historic facts.
Please turn up the mike you use, your voice comes over too soft to me.. pleasant but soft. The sound level of the music kills me and I have to turn it down and that happens with others doing the reaction videos.
