Rio Grande - Rio Grande 1971

Rio Grande was a genuine country rock band. Supplemented with bassist Tom Russell and pedal steel player Bobby Tuttle, they recorded their debut LP for RCA at the local studio in Tyler, Rio Grande. When released in '71, the self-titled Rio Grande was completely overlooked.  Songs like 'Sue Ann', 'So Good To Be Free', 'Before My Time', and 'Dog Song' are wonderful because of the harmonies and the waving pedal. steal. The swamp rocker 'Nice And Easy' also shines through the fantastic bottleneck guitar of Ronnie Weiss – and thereby lifts Rio Grande to a higher level, even if that fell on deaf ears in 1971.
