Thread Name: Info req: Dave Rankin
Subject: Dave Rankin
The sleeve note writer of the 1962 album "Tom Rush At The Unicorn" referred to Dave Rankin, the writer of the song Poor Man, as "The Woodie Guthrie Of The South"(their spelling, not mine). That's a big claim and yet only this one song by Rankin can I find. Surely there must be more? Is there anyone on here who can add anything to our knowledge of this man?
