I didn’t think he was a whole decade older than Eno.

Very sad news. I know you're a huge admirer of his, ISB - and you posted about Budd's newly released collaboration with Robin Guthrie, Another Flower. I'll be listening to that later tonight in his honor.

Thanks for making me feel heard and understood. I'm tempted to claim a copy of his release on Eno's Obscure Records label - it was pricey before but I can only imagine it will skyrocket now that he's passed.

Looking like $50 right now.

His entire catalog will be queued for the remainder of my week. <3

It's a very worthwhile and treasurable thing to hear and understand you. Thank YOU.

I'll be listening to Budd this week, as well. <3

Sad to see Charley Pride go. Legend in the blues/country genre, died from complications from guess what? RIP.

A luscious voice that couldn’t be denied



The only black guy I ever remember seeing on Hee Haw

The only song of his I know, and only because my elder sister (not Karen) had it when she was younger. Think it was in the charts. I was am-azed to find out the guy was black. He sure didn't sound it. Also, a black guy in country music was, so far as I knew, pretty rare, though of course I might be well wide of the mark there.

Are you sure the version you grew up on wasn’t the Charlie Rich version?

You know, it could be. I would have been at school at the time, so Charlie this or Charlie that, I probably wouldn't have cared. Let me listen to the two versions and see if they sound different to me.

Edit: Yeah, you got me. It was Rich not Pride. Oh well, still a great song and still RIP Charley Pride.

Wow, this is really my day for ****ing up and making a fool of myself isn't it?
In other words, just like every other day... :shycouch:

lol

Let’s just say it’s probably for the best you’re not giving a eulogy at his funeral

I’m glad you posted it though. He had a great voice. Even though he had a long life I still feel like covid deaths are a rip off because it really didn’t have to let it run rampant like we did. It’s definitely not going to be looked back on with pride but at least I know that I personally behaved correctly.
