Always wondered when this was going to happen. Those guys had been through so much over the decades.

Kenny Malone, drummer on on Dolly, Dobie Gray hits, dies at 83

Quote: Drummer Kenny Malone, a prolific session player who played on hits for Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard and many others, has died. He was 83.

Malone's friend and former bandmate Dave Pomeroy said he died Thursday after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Malone is credited on hundreds of records made in Nashville including albums like Parton's “Jolene," and Haggard's “Dreaming My Dreams.” He was known in particular for his hand-drumming technique. Among the other artists Malone played with were Dobie Gray, Ronnie Milsap and Crystal Gayle.

“He expanded the vocabulary of Nashville drumming, and was always an innovator who invented his own unique style of hand drumming, often combining sticks and brushes with hand percussion to create a unique sound and feel that left lots of space for other instruments and the vocals,” said Pomeroy in a statement.

Malone, from Denver, enlisted in the Navy and served 14 years, playing as a musician in the U.S. Navy Band. He came to Nashville in 1970 and started working with famed Nashville producer “Cowboy” Jack Clement and soon became one of the most utilized drummers and percussionists in town.

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum said he worked on records by Bobby Bare, Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash Emmylou Harris, George Jones, Barbara Mandrell, Charley Pride, Kenny Rogers, Dottie West and Don Williams.

Or maybe as Carl Frederickson from the Pixar movie Up.

I love that movie, and Ed Asner did a great job as the curmudgeony old guy
