btw thanks for the heads up on this. You don't really hear these on regular radio. (haven't listened in decades)
I've never been a big fan of country (my parents were) I have never the less been a long time Riot Folk (http://www.facebook.com/events/260870997340066/) supporter and though I'm sure I have heard his songs, at least a few at some point, This is new territory for me.
