Great songwriter. Gave up a chance to teach at the US Military Academy to follow his passion

Willie will outlive us all.

Yep, and he’s 91. Still touring though

 

[batchaps4me]

Other than Bob Dylan, for my money he was the best wordsmith on stage.

He was touring with Mellencamp last I heard. Johnny Cougar throws a hissy fit on stage about once a week now

Right now he’s with Bob Dylan and Robert Plant with Allison Kraus. I went and seen em. Bob Dylan needs to retire, and Willie was sick, but his son just lead the band and Derek Trucks filled in, so it was still pretty sweet

I'd throw Prine in there as well.

Him, Bob, Townes, Prine

That’s my singer-songwriter Mount Rushmore
