OH snap! What a year, we've lost so many good peoples in 2009. Widespread Panic covered alot of his tunes and turned me on to him, he will be missed. |

Aunt Avis, Bug, Arthur Murray, Sleeping Man...the list goes on and on. His voice was hauntingly good. |

I also learned of him through Widespread Panic (and his brief appearance in the movie Slingblade). There was a startling honesty in his music that people rarely feel comfortable showing. I wouldn't say he was one of my favorite songwriters, but in a sea of mediocrity, he was certainly a unique and compelling personality. |
