RIO
GRANDE (RCA Victor) This is a perfectly competent-plus mod-country band
which has gone virtually unacknowledged in print, led by a Texas music
man named Ronny Weiss whose name you might file.
In 1965, after
attending Tyler Junior College (Computer Science and Business), David
Stanley and Ronny Weiss (Mouse) formed Mouse and the Traps. That same
year they recorded their first chart single "A Public Execution" for
Fraternity Records. From 1965 to 1970 they recorded fifteen more 45
RPM's and toured extensively throughout Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana
doing concerts with such artists as Vanilla Fudge, Booker T. and the
MG's, The Mamas & The Papas, Bobby Vinton, B. J. Thomas, and Joe
Stampley. In 1970, Dave and Mouse recorded an album for RCA Records
under the name of Rio Grande.
Thanks for the post of Rio Grande,Been along time since I could listen to them.Must have the LP somewhere.,which I bought when I heard the end of the bottle on the radio., by ,I think dutch radio VPRO in the 1970's. Thanks a lot.
I bought this LP a long time ago (1980, maybe) and then lost it during a removal. So what a great surprise for me to get it again with your post. It's a great country-rock album from Ronnie Weiss and I like this guy since his days with Mouse and the Traps. Many thanks.

Wow, what a pleasent surprise to find this knock-out album. "Before My Time" was my favorite song in July, 1971. All I ever had of it is a tape recording from FM radio. Huge thanks for the RAR'd MP3's, scans, and great info!

Being from East Texas, I grew up with "Mouse" as Ronnie was know and Bugs Henderson, his guiar whiz buddy, playing the clubs along Hwy 31, between Tyler and Kilgore. We may have been underaged but in East Texas it just didn't matter.
