what a heartbreaking news.

We all go through things that we can't handle but some of us talk about it or give sign's. We all have to protect won another.
I first heard of him through Ryan Adams and the cardinals. Their live version of his song freeway to the canyon changed my life. The song made me hear music in a new way; in the way that some songs are able to do. And his music with the skiffle players was amazing. He seemed like a genuinely real person who happened to be a really good musician.
I remember seeing CRB at a sold out show in Stowe Vermont at the rusty nail and Neil was hanging out in the parking lot with the fans a few hours before the show. Nobody made a fuss or anything. I think most people either didn’t know it was him or didn’t know who he was. I admired that he seemed to be out to socialize for nothing more than to talk with people and make a connection.

The guy in the front row burst out laughing and pointed to his wife "She's got it in her handbag". She was such a mega fan she was following him round the county. Neal asked if he could borrow it back, and promised she could have it after the gig when he'd made a copy. One of the best nights I've ever had at a gig. Thank you for the marvelous music. His CDs are never far away and It will be back to back listening to Neal's CDs here for a few days .

It was a great privilege to have grown up with you and I am truly thankful to have seen you this year. You will be forever in our hearts
