Live Performance of "Far Away" by Jose Gonzalez from the Red Dead Redemption Soundtrack
Posted July 22 at 11:52am | Author: R* F | Filed Under: Games, Music

Jose Gonzalez recently took time out of his busy summer tour schedule to swing by the Rockstar offices in New York and perform this intimate, acoustic rendition of “Far Away”, his contribution to the Red Dead Redemption Soundtrack. Most of you will remember this song from when John Marston first reaches Mexico, riding horseback along a dusty trail between cascading red cliffs and the San Luis River; definitely one of Red Dead’s most visually and sonically memorable moments.
