I discovered Manly Wade Wellman's "Silver John" books a number of years ago. I think I read all of them before they aged out and don't seem to be available anymore. There was a strong touch of magic to them as well. Regarding Jeffrey Deaver (see Roger the Skiffer's post of Sept 10, 2010, I wasn't aware of his folkie background until I read one of his books with a female character who was going progressively deaf. She still had records in her collection that she could hear because of the singer's bass voice--Gordon Bok.
