Farewell Porter,
You were maybe the first country artiste to record 'concept' albums.
"Soul of a Convict","Cold Hard Fact of Life", etc. Usually great material, wrote great stuff, influenced me in my early days on the RCA Country Guitar series of EPs.
Gonna miss you, you were great. Never saw you live but remember the impact you had on me with "Fred and Joe and Bill" and just about every track after that.
RIP.
