Well deserved,never mind country,he's one of the greats full stop.Anyone put off by some of the watered down rubbish that gets called "country music" should really give Hank Williams a go and listen to the real thing.

Steve's got a new release coming out shortley featuring a song that didn't quite make it onto the Raising Sand CD that T-Bone Burnett produced, something about heaven and hell.

Damn, I'm wondering where you possibly could have picked up that bit of information...
