This incredibly talented gentleman was part of so many musical efforts, genre-spanning, category-defying and defining, like a bedrock. So humble and gracious with a shining, singing soul. Ryan Adams said it well, "Lighthouse of Kindness."
It's a testament to his impact, the outpouring here and elsewhere. Remarkable the amount of ears his music reached and hearts it touched. I hope this energy finds Neal, and he moves forward easily. RIP!
