I guess if we're going to blame one artist music for another one we'd have to blame Hank Williams Sr. pretty much all country and rock is derived from his influence.

That the two were sharing a golf cart last year at Eastwoods charity tournament in Pebble Beach, Calif. is both a testament to their friendship and a stroke of good fortune. The encounter led Keith to pen the beautifully haunting song that lingers at the end of The Mule. The Eastwood-directed and starring film, in theaters now, is based on the true story of a WWII veteran in his 80s who takes a job as a courier for a Mexican drug cartel.
Out on the green, Eastwood shared that hed be starting work on The Mule in two days, which also happened to be his 88th birthday. Struck by Eastwoods relentless energy at an age when many are content to sit and reflect, Keith asked how he keeps going.
He said, I just get up every morning and go out. And I dont let the old man in, Keith recounts. And I thought, Im writing that.
What was to become Dont Let the Old Man In transfixed the country singer/songwriter, who had soaked in enough about the film and Eastwoods character to take a stab at a song. People were talking to me and they would say, Did you hear what I just said? And I was like, No, because I wasnt listening to any conversations. I was consumed by Dont Let the Old Man In. I worked so hard on it, Keith says. When I finally sang the line, I thought, its got to be dark, its got to be a ballad and its got to be simple.
In what turned out to be another stroke of serendipity, Keith was under the weather the day he cut his demo.[b] I was sick as a dog that day. I was coughing and sneezing and thinking, this is terrible[/b], he recounts. I gave it the best vocal I could that day, and I sent it off. Its a real raspy, sleepy, tired, sick vocal. I said, Well now youve got a reference, and Ill go back and put a vocal on it for you.
To his surprise, Eastwood called immediately. He said, Ive got a spot in the movie and Im putting it in there. And then Warner Bros. called asking did I read the script before I wrote this song because it fits perfectly.
To his greater surprise, Eastwood didnt want to change a thing. He wanted it sick and tired and dark like that, Keith says.
The songs aesthetic, at once emotionally resigned and quietly triumphant, turned out to be right in tune with that of the film. Its refrain, Many moons Ive lived/my bodys weathered and worn/Ask yourself how old youd be if you didnt know the day you were born? was inspired by another anecdote Keith had been carrying around about the grandmother of his 65-year-old friend who never had a birth certificate and didnt know her age. I always knew that your slack jawed yokel typing style was just some kind of schtick, and that you were capable of coherent sentences. This just proves it.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.
