I was in college when his Silver Tounged Devil song came out, and I got tagged with it right away, lol. RIP, Kris.

Another great music legend laid to to rest. This leaves Willie as the last Outlaw.

He has nothing left to lose now. He's free.

Lots of bumps along the way, a writer's eye and mind, pleasingly unique and a contributor. RIP

I was introduced to his music when I was about 13. I am in my 60's now and I was just telling my wife that I probably know almost every word to the songs from "Silver Tongue Devil". Over the years I have worn out several of his CD's. I did not Google it but I think he is listed as one of the most prolific song writers of his time. I will be humming his songs to myself for the rest of this sad day.
