Back in the 70's I heard this one as "The rivers of Texas." Good song.

Wonderful track Dan, but I don't think that's Jean!

Best wishes,

That's Cindy Mangsen singing the harmony.

Yes, she is. She was still a fixture in the Chicago folk scene when Art recorded that album.

A beautiful song! And Cindy Mangsen-who could one possibly choose better for accompanying harmony? Thanks for the great rendition.

Yep, that is my olf friend Cindy. I love her voice.

Thyis version of The Rivers Of Texas was put together by Win Stracke a Chicago and Old Town School mainstay from the 1960s. A mentor for me.

Carol has had an operation and I'm in a hurr5y to get to hospital now.

Later---

It is wonderful to hear this song.
Cindy should be credited for her part.
Art, best wishes for Carol....

I asked Art the same question in this thread back on 08 Mar 09 (and got the same answer).
Win Stracke called the song "Down By The Embarrass."
Dan, where did you find that recording, I'm wondering—the one I posted came from Art.

Yes, it is Cindy. And I DID give her full credit on ny LP on Kicking Mule Records---Songs Of The Heartland. Early 1980s I think.

He don't do it right! The traumatic parting wuz supposed to happen down by the BRAZOS!

Actually, I've heard this adapted to various places in the country, but this seems to take in more area in one version than what I've heard before. Kudos to both Art and the lovely Cindy.

In the earlier thread I referred to above, I first linked to a live recording from November 4, 1979
at a benefit for Michael Cooney at Stages Music Hall in Chicago (clicky here) and then linked to
a compilation of 21 cuts that Art likes best from his two Kicking Mule LPs Outright Boldface Lies
and Songs Of The Heartland (clicky here). Lots of great Art Thieme stuff in that thread.
