I wrote this back in '85, and forgot about it. It's a lousy vocal. https://soundcloud.com/90-db/rio-grandeRio Grande ©1985 Robert Randall Burke He's got a girl in Texas Tells her he'll be comin' home soon But the bright lights of the city Took much more than they had to.

Hey Bob, I enjoyed this... And I didn't think the vocal was that lousy! I was gettin a sorta Marty Robbins thing. A good write. I've found a few gems looking back on some of the stuff I wrote in the 80's as well. The older we get, the better we were! Nice job on the mix & arrangement too. Well done. Greg

HI Bob,
If this is a lousy vocal ... sign me up for lousy. Sounded terrific to us. The acoustic 6 string has such a nice tone and was the perfect touch. Loved everything about this, We both thank you for a terrific listen.

"Livin' in Manhattan Longin' for the Rio Grande" Nice. A good write, Bob (as are all of yours). A little "word-y" for you, eh? Nice production for the song - simple, yet full as it should be. Hope all is well out there in the boonies... fj

Really nice song Bob. Your bad vocals are way better than my good ones. I could listen you all night or until the beer runs out. I enjoyed it a lot! Tom

Amen..... A world of folks would pay big money to be able to sing like that. Not comparing it per se but we got lots of images of Marty Robbins, Willie, The Highway Men, The Flatlanders, etc. Nice! J&B

Hi, Bob !:))
Rio Grande means nostalgia for me as I still can recall when we rafted down that beautiful river quite a time ago ! (that was from Santa Fé)
A very beautiful tune is your tune and it made me long for Rio Grande too !
Cheers Dani

Bob,
I enjoyed my listen. This is a very comfortable sounding melody and fits perfectly with the backing.
Yet another fine creation for your burgeoning catalogue!
All the best, Noel
