He did some good imitations! Watched them before.He not only had his own style (somewhat mimicking Lefty Frizzel), he could replicate many other artists of his time. YouTube videos of him singing a Marty Robbin’s song to Marty. I think he would have stayed popular longer in his career had he not took up smoking pot. (In a fog) He lost so much of his wealth through multiple marriages and tax issues. He was involved in the legal system way too much. I guess he started his adulthood that way - in prison…. Mama tried.
