I knew Keith from the time I was 9 years old. I met him at Buddy's Bar B Q. Prior to entering the venue, my stepdad told me I was going to hear the finest singer I would ever hear, that was over 40 years ago and still holds true. I became friends with Keith playing bluegrass and he was everything you'd want him to be. Funny, always gave you a hug and always called me Hoss for some reason. I knew J.D. Crowe pretty well, being my banjo hero, and he loved Keith like a son and helped Keith get his writing deal with Sony/Tree. Keith was the life of the party and there will be another. The Country Music Hall of museum should make him a member posthumously......even Garth says so. Btw, Garth couldn't carry Keith's case. Keith's friend and friend for life. PS Those of you who know bluegrass will find it interesting that Doyle Lawson was one of Keith 's best friends.

met him just before he passed. He played Governor's in Chattanooga and the wife and I were big fans and went to see him. Little bitty fellow. Doubt he weighed a hundred pounds even with the rhinestones.

His voice had so many dips, ranges, tones, and he went from one to the other smooth as silk. Very few have that, Jones, Gosdin, Merle..only the greats.

Country music hasn’t been country since!! There’s just no “feeling” anymore. Some come close but most are missing what it is that takes you “there”, and that’s what true country does.

Yes you are right this new country music isn't the same . It's like the top 40 chart list which isn't country.
