Pure Originalâ describes Gil Prather. Known by his musician peers as âThe Man from the Rio Grandeâ, Gil offers a unique style of self-penned Cowboy/Western music with a Tex-Mex border flavor. His music reflects his younger years of growing up on the Mexican border as a working cowboy in the Big Bend Country of West Texas. Early in his career, Gilâs versatility was recognized by major producers. He has written and produced several award-winning radio and TV commercials and, in 1996, he wrote the award winning song, Iâll Be Back in Texas by the Fall, which was voted Song of the Year by the prestigious Academy of Western Artists.

From 1990 -1997, Gil was âthe other brotherâ in the nationally acclaimed âJose Brothersâ comedy act which toured the southern United States and in the mid 1990âs, he teamed with Robert James Waller (The Bridges of Madison County) to co-write several selections from Wallerâs Border Music album. Gilâs writing talent and unique style has made him well-known from Mexico to Canada, with performances throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico. Experience true Americana music from a unique grass roots artist who has written first-hand, a lifetime worth of songs reflecting the cowboy way of life.
