    I had the distinct privilege to tour with Joe and play keys in his band. Without a doubt one of the greatest country voices I've ever heard. Spot on every night. Many of these so-called country artists today could stand to learn a few things about singing from guys like Joe!

    Joe Diffie's music basically was the soundtrack to my life all through the 90's and a piece of me passed away with him today. God Bless him and hold him close, heaven just booked one heck of a man. Karaoke tonight in your memory Mr. Diffie, R.I.P.

    Another one of my all time favorites from Joe, and a great example of what made him one of the best of the early 90's Neo-Traditionalists, imo. Love how this one showed just how wide his vocal range was. Never dreamed that we would be saying goodbye to this incredibly talented man this early. :(

      The 90s is the decade of the best country music. We were spoiled rotten for a good 10-15 years. Even some legends like the Hag and the possum were still making great music. There is no such thing as country music radio stations anymore. So I will stick to you tube and live in the late 80s and 90s the rest of my days.
