I certainly hope Billy Faier is not completely forgotten. It's hard for me to imagine a more definitive version of Travelin' Man than the one on his album of the same name from, I think, the late 50's. He said, I believe, that he'd gotten it from Uncle Dave and "corrected" the lyrics himself.

He's still going strong, to judge by his website:
