RIP Kenny.

He was one of my favorite country artists. I think I'll need a dose of his songs tonight.

RIP, Gambler. Kenny was more pop-country than pure-country, sort of his generation's Garth Brooks as he had the same massive cross-over success in the pop-radio of the late 1970's and early 80's. Definitely one of the guys who laid the path for the success of further musicians later on. He was one in a million, that's for sure, and one of the last true greats who put out those terrific songs with a story to them. And a good story makes something that much better. Thanks, Kenny. Send Lucille packin' if you meet her on the other side.

Oddly enough people seem to think he was just a 70's or 80's icon but if truth be told he was part of the 60's generation and he had at least one psychedelic hit peaking at #5 before he became country/ pop mainstream. I wonder how many people watched the Big Lebowski without knowing who the lead singer of this song was.

With all the shit going on right now, you could say that he...
Knew when to fold 'em
Knew when to walk away

Actually, the line "The best you can hope for is to die in your sleep" is appropriate there.
