    Billy Joe Shaver, RIP

    Terrible year for Americana. David Olney, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, now Shaver.

    Anybody who could write "The Devil made me do it the first time, the second time I did it on my own," deserves a place in the songwriter's pantheon.

    That really is as close to the perfect song as someone can write. Damn, this news makes me sad.

    Though made a few years ago, I feel that this song by Australia's Cosmic Psychos really speaks to 2020.

    Worth a mention is this interview with Billy Joe Shaver & Terry Gross. The whole thing is great but the performance he gives of Try Again at the end is just amazing.
