Country music singer, prolific songwriter and guitarist from San Antonio, Texas.
As a songwriter Red River Dave was best known for "event" songs, written in response to the headlines of the day. He found inspiration in stories as diverse and unlikely as the murder of Sharon Tate ("The California Hippy Murders"), the kidnapping of Patty Hearst ("The Ballad of Patty Hearst") and America's most notorious nuclear accident ("The Ballad of Three-Mile Island"). - Related
