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.
