He's got some beautiful songs. And Merle Travis is someone I']m only just getting to know too (I admit my failings), but I know many of his songs by other people already. I realised after the fact that I should have considered including the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on my list, but hey ho. And as for Roy Acuff...I didn't think you liked that sort of old-school country?Divinylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714248849968506687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416194131066658491.post-27133904859543236422008-06-04T05:48:00.000+01:002008-06-04T05:48:00.000+01:00I'm with Reggie; thanks for sending him over to re...I'm with Reggie; thanks for sending him over to rebalance the gender bias in Paul's original list.<BR/><BR/>Though I still maintain that Gillian Welch is not country music.
