Last night, the granny next to me sang every word of “Ripple” along with Robert Hunter. Deadhead sticker on her Cadillac? Without a doubt.

Hunter, who in a few days will be embarking on his first tour in years (www.RobertHunterTour.com), got the recognition he deserved. He was one of several artists to receive this special honor, along with Dr. John, Duane Eddy, Stephen Stills, and Hank Williams (source: The Tennesean). As soon as we find a recording or video of him receiving his award and his performance of Ripple we will share it!
