RIP John.
Only saw him live once, late 90s, fantastic. Lots of his albums, great memories, very sad.

I need to look into his stuff. Have a lot of friends in Nashville and everyone’s talking about him. Guessing it’s more country, so not as prevalent over here. Sounds like he was a lovely bloke though, and will be very sorely missed.

Has @Big Duke Six identified the body yet?
He's on furlough, so no.

That must have been amazing. Great songwriter table up there with those two and Guy Clark, Townes, David Olney, Steve Young, and many others.

So sad, intelligent, witty songwriter. He had agreed to do a tour of really small venues years ago and was lined up to do The Ropery of all places but cancelled due to a cancer scare, was gutted and that was the nearest I got to seeing him, you can tell by the people who held him in high esteem (Kristofferson, Springsteen) how good he was. RIP John

The Ropery had a spell when they were getting some excellent niche artists, saw Caitlyn Cary and Hazeldine (with Neal Casal in their band) there.
