When I talk about Goats I’m talking about the Greatest of All Time. Those singer/ songwriters who everyone knows and loves. The ones who everyone one else is listening to and trying to be like.. A Goat is always an inspiration to others.
Charlie Robison is in this category in that ever growing list of Goats I carry in my mind he lives at the top. I cannot describe in words the impact it had when I learned of his untimely death yesterday.
Charlie’s songs are and always will be in the playlist of my life …. His way with words and his ability to tell a story through his song..
I don’t recall when I began listening to Charlie Robison. Sometime in the mid 90’s, when Texas Country music was in its infancy. There was bands like Cross Canadian Ragweed, Mickey and The Motorcars , Jason Boland and of Course Charlie.
My heart goes out to his brother Bruce, also a GOAT as well as all the men and women whom were inspired by his musical talents.
Rest in Peace Charlie. Your music will live forever.
Pancho.
Perfectly said. Thank you for sharing.
