Goodbye Dennis Linde

Dennis Linde wrote "Burning Love", Elvis' last non-cover classic and "Goodbye Earl", the Dixie Chicks' last fun hit. There was "Callin' Baton Rouge" which is a Garth Brooks staple. In between he wrote the immortal "Bubba Shot The Jukebox" and equally goofy "Talkin' Song Repair Blues", and there were other Country hits. He made some solo albums in the early 70's that got good notices, but are long out-of-print. And he's a member of the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame. Linde died on 12/22, but for us Elvis fans we'll always thank him for "Burning Love."
