Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Tom Stevens of the Long Ryders

TOM STEVENS, 64

Died  24 January 2021

Bass player with the Long Ryders.

Classified as an alternative country, Paisley Underground band.  I's also put them as Americana.  Performed principally between 1982 and 1987.

Their sound is described as being reminiscent of the Rubber Soul Beatles, electric Bob Dylan, Buffalo Springfield and the Flying Burrito Brothers, only with a harder edge.

I must admit, I'd never heard of them, but have now been listening to them a lot recently on You Tube.

Give them a listen.
