About Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone

In his live 1994 album from The Birchmere in Virginia titled "Night After Night", Jerry Jeff Walker tips his hat to Charlie Pride with a riff on Sangria Wine " with the lines- " Is Anybody Goin to San Antone or Phoenix Arizona? Anyplace is allright as long as I don't have to go to Waco".

Pride's manager, Jack D. Johnson, was given a demonstration tape of this song and rewrote it, changing the chords, lyrics, and arrangement to better fit his client, Charley Pride. Pride recorded and made this rewrite his third number-one hit. Jack did not take songwriter's credit, as he was working for the success of his client. Jack wrote other songs, including "Too Hard To Say I'm Sorry", also sung by Charley Pride, cowritten with Jack Clement.

It was released in February 1970 as the first single from the album Charley Pride's 10th album. The song was Pride's third number one in a row on the country charts. The single spent two weeks at number one and a total of 16 weeks on the country chart.
