I don't know much about his career in country music, but he played the sheriff in the "Maverick" reboot of the early 1980s. I really enjoyed that series, although it didn't last a full season. I always thought the casting director must have said he wanted somebody like Sam Elliott to play the role, and Bruce was perfect. His character and Maverick co-owned a saloon in the small town where Maverick decided to settle down.
 
So many greats have died this year. So sad.
 
Just saw the article a little while ago. I’ve never heard any of his music, but I remember seeing him in a film in which he had a small part playing the sheriff.
 

Opening credits of "Bret Maverick" with Ed Bruce singing the theme.
