WOW - just wow. While it's never too late to discover great music, I'm still sick that I never discovered Stephen until recently...too late to hear his "next" work of genius......I've fallen in love with the person that he was, his unbelievable talent as a musician, and the best lyrics I've ever heard out of one single person. I mourn his death as if it has just happened, to a great and close
friend. I pray for his family and look forward to meeting him in heaven.
I thought of you, Stephen, all day today. You are missed, you are brilliant, you are loved and remembered. Great musician, great man, great in all ways.
A great musician as he was a gentleman. Such a great guy. He is a great inspiration for guitar players and songwriters everywhere. He was a good ol' Fort Worth boy.
Something I like so much about Stephen's music is that he put an emphasis on integrity and telling the truth. I only saw him perform twice at the Saxton Pub, but the music and the man are unforgettable. Thanks, Stephen.
Funny feelings I don't understand. Never met or even saw Stephen perform, in fact I didn't even know of him until Crazy Heart came out, but I feel like I have lost something dear. Really wished I had know of him 5 years ago when I moved to the DFW area. I would have made every effort to have seen him perform...many times. Now that is gone. So how is it you can miss someone you never knew?
Ola, acabei de assistir Crazy Herat - Louco Coracao, e no final vi o nome IN Memorian Stephen Bruton. Achei as musicas muito boas, onde encontro as musicas do filem. Ele faleceu do que . ..
I'm curious when this interview was shot. We in Austin especially miss Stephen in our hearts, on our streets and in our clubs. I wanna say thanks to T. Bone Burnett for connecting and working with Stephen, to help bring his talents to that level that Stephen has long deserved. I know The Resentments miss Stephen as one of their long-sitting members. Going to their gigs and feeling the love between all those talented souls, passing their songs to one another - awesome! See you at the Saxon!
Damn, I just saw Crazy Heart and discovered Stephens music thru the movie. I learned today that he passed away back in May. Wouldve loved to see him live! Damn. Thats all I can say. Damn....
stephen was my friend. like only a few in my lucky life. & a friend sent this to me, so if you knew him & loved him send this out to all you know. i said everybody,
Stephen was life changing for me, in talent, but much more importantly in soul. God bless Stephen and his family. I'll not forget shaking his hand at the Saxon Pub....
thanks, wherever you are now, I know you will hear me. You're so right. I have rheumatism and if i don't live from moment to moment, my life is a mess. I DO forget from time to time, so yeah, I will watch and listen to you often, just to remember, and keep me "on track" so to speak.
I enjoyed your live shows tremendously. Thanks so much.
I miss your music, I miss your stories. But most of all I miss your laugh!! I cherish the memories of our gut wrenching bent over crying laughs. I miss you so much......
Miss you Stephen. R.I.P.
