From his bluegrass roots with The Strawberry Hill Boys to becoming the UK’s first A&M-signed band, Cousins shaped a sound that inspired generations. Even amid band turmoil, he kept creating—writing songs until his final public performance last February, and planning posthumous releases. Keyboardist Blue Weaver called his lyrics “poetry without music,” crediting Cousins for launching his own career. A quiet warrior against illness, Cousins’ artistry remains a timeless beacon for musicians everywhere. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
