Joe Diffie, Wry Country Traditionalist, Dead At 61 Following COVID-19 Diagnosis : NPR

The arrival of the coronavirus to Nashville came early in March, but Joe Diffie's passing yesterday, at the age of 61 — just two days after releasing a statement about his diagnosis through his publicist — marked the first reported loss of a country star to coronavirus-related complications. An admired, early-'90s neotraditionalist, Diffie had a belated professional start but a quick breakthrough that came a few years into a wave of hard-country singers who favored naturalistic production.

You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill and still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville. Definitely white trash, the kind that smells like kerosene, rundown mobile homes and pig farm, but a good a good song.
