“Our sympathy and condolences to the family, friends and many fans of singer, songwriter and actress K.T. Oslin who we lost today,” Jeannie Seely wrote on Facebook.
Gretchen Peters recalled Oslin signing on to her Planned Parenthood benefit concert “when no one else would do it.
“She was funny and smart and irreverent as hell,” Peters tweeted.
“K.T. brought an edge and an attitude that was missing in country music in the ’80s and ’90s, especially among female singers,” Terry Lickona, “Austin City Limits” executive producer, said in a statement. “ ... She helped pave the way for the new generation of women in country to come.”
Brandy Clark used the words “larger than life, smart, funny, elegant (and) beautiful” to describe her friend and mentor, while Suzy Bogguss remembered the singer as “such an original and true musical spirit.

Ozark Mountain Daredevils Co-founder Larry Lee Dies at 78
Ozark Mountain Daredevils co-founder Larry Lee has died at 78, the members of the current lineup said.
Lee, who was a multi-instrumentalist, co-wrote “Jackie Blue,” the band’s most-enduring song.
“His lyrics will live forever and we will proudly continue to celebrate his life by playing those songs on stage,” the Daredevils said in their May 11 statement that called Lee “a gracious and caring man” and gave no cause of death.
“It’s always difficult when you unexpectedly lose someone special,” OMD said. “The passing of Larry Lee, a cherished friend and brother to our band, evokes a profound sense of loss that resonates deeply within the hearts of all those who knew him.”
Lee stayed with the Daredevils for a decade before leaving in 1982. He eventually joined Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band and produced albums for such artists as Alabama, K.T Oslin and the Devils themselves.
“His legacy as a musician and SPS alum will live on,” Springfield (Mo.) Public Schools said in a statement about Lee, a 2023 inductee of the district’s hall of fame. “Our thoughts and condolences are with his loved ones.”
