Backwoodsman
Our local lad Connolly's being one of them, I guess (although he's written a number that are far better, IMHO).

One of the ones I was thinking of and, er, yes. Maybe a bit over exposed. I also found Jez Lowe's Back in Durham Jail classed as Irish Trad. on an American website. Don't they know Durham is in North Carolina?

You mean Backwoodsman is your real name!?
