Kentucky Rockabilly pioneer Billy Adams left us four years ago today. Here is my post from that time:

Billy Adams left us last night to go to the destination he had been preparing for most of his life. Billy was the most versatile and talented artist that I was ever honored to work with. He was a master guitarist and keyboard player. From Jimmie Rodgers, to the Carter Family, to Chet Atkins, to Fats Domino, to Jerry Lee and Elvis, he could capture the essence of all of them. He was a walking encyclopedia of American roots and popular music. And he blended them all into a unique style all his own.

Not only was he a Rockabilly and Rock 'N Roll pioneer and a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, he also wrote and recorded hundreds of Gospel songs, including "I Saw The Man," a Top 10 hit for The Happy Goodman Family.

He independently released the seminal Rockabilly classic "Rock, Pretty Mama" in 1957, and that single has gone on to be been included on "Best Of" compilations released by major and reissue labels including MCA, Bear Family and Sanctuary Records, along with songs from Elvis, Buddy Holly and Brenda Lee, and is considered by some musicologists to be one of the "Big Bangs" of early Rock 'N Roll.

Billy is pictured here in a 2002 performance at the "Hemsby Rock 'N Roll Weekend" in England. He is holding a lard bucket lid. Growing up poor in rural Kentucky, Billy couldn't afford to buy a guitar when the music bug bit him as a youth, so he and his brother Charles would pound out rhythms on lard bucket lids. Before we made this trip, one of our bandmates located some of these lids and I attached a pickup to one so it could be amplified. When he played it, the sound was unlike anything people had heard before, and when it rained down on them like audio shrapnel they roared with approval.

For almost 20 years I was honored to be his drummer, manager, publicist, producer, archivist and best friend. Watching him captivate audiences from a few hundred to tens of thousands was always a treat.

From shows at SXSW, to festivals across America and the U.K., he always gave his fans his best.

There is so much I could say about this titan of a man.
He was a Kentucky Colonel, an Evangelist and an ordained Bishop who toured the country by bus for years with his family band spreading the Gospel and spearheading humanitarian missions for the people of his native Appalachia, who he loved. Never seeking fame or glory, he lived his life with humility, grace and a humbleness that was an example to aspire to.

He lived to serve others and he touched and altered the course of many lives along the way, mine included. Godspeed my friend. Job well done. Go rest high on that mountain.

Oklahoma Red Dirt country music artist, Jake Flint, died in his sleep in the early morning hours on Sunday, November 27. Flint had exchanged wedding vows with Brenda Wilson on Saturday. He was 37. No official cause of death has been determined. News of his death quickly went viral on social media and has since been covered by dozens of media outlets around the world.

The family has released funeral arrangements and have made a public statement:

"Our hearts are broken over this tragic loss. Jacob was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and partner to his wife, Brenda. He valued his family, friendships and living life to the fullest, which was evident in his songwriting. Every person who knew him has a story of his wit, charm, talent, and compassion. We are so grateful for the outpouring of support and the many beautiful tributes that have been shared about the impact Jacob had on many lives. While we grieve what we know could have been, we're grateful that his talent and love live on in his songs."

Services for Flint will be Monday, December 5 at 10:00 am at Cedar Point Church, 1660 N Lynn Riggs Blvd, Claremore, Oklahoma.
