NASHVILLE, TN (September 17, 2018) —
More great news is on the horizon for Bobby Marquez’s latest project,
“The Cowboy Way.” The CMA of Texas has awarded Marquez and Rhonda
Vincent Duet of the Year for the track titled “For Awhile.” Trophies
will be presented on October 24th at Mo’s Place in Katy, Texas during
their fifth annual event.
“I have loved this song since I first wrote it. Tim McGraw and
Faith Hill had it on hold “for awhile”, no pun intended, so I couldn’t
do anything with the song. When it became available, I knew Rhonda was
the voice for this song. She just has so much emotion. It gives me
goosebumps to listen to it. I am so grateful to Rhonda for recording
with me and the CMA of Texas for recognizing us,” shares Marquez.
