[Joe 6-pack]

Very sad...the man lived a rough life, but his lyrics were brilliant and even without the music, stand alone as tremendous poetry I would compare to even W.B. Yeats.

His voice was anything but conventional, but had a coarse, rough masculine quality to it, which balanced nicely when paired with a polished female vocalist.

I agree. He was a great poet.
