The Texas singer-songwriter's rootsy anthems made the country charts until he was forced to retire after complications from a medical procedure left him unable to sing.

A giant of the Texas music scene has passed away. Charlie Robison, a gravelly-voiced, bad boy, say-anything singer-songwriter, died at a hospital in San Antonio on Sunday, Sept. 10, after suffering cardiac arrest and other complications, according to an Associated Press report. Robison passed away just nine days after his 59th birthday.

Robison was born in Houston, making him a local favorite here for decades, but he grew up in Bandera, Texas, on the ranch his family has owned for generations. Tanned, ranch-strong, and standing six-foot-four, Robison looked more jock than a country singer. He played football at Southwest Texas State University in the 1980s before an injury ended his sports career.
