I liked most of his music. There is a video out there of him with Iris DeMent doing "In Spite of Ourselves" that I could watch over and over. They go great together.
I have mixed feelings about, "Hello in There," which depicts the elderly as pathetic, lonely nobodies.
It's a sweet, poignant melody, but "old folks" don't, "Just grow lonesome waiting for someone to say, 'Hello in there.'" I'm 73 and I feel a little insulted by that lyric. I'm not that pathetic, and if someone came up to me and said, "Hello in There" I'd probably punch them.
