And this just in -
My taste has always run toward the funny and the country. And when you're talking funny and folk, don't overlook the old recordings by the Smothers Brothers. They were good and funny. And if you're talking good and funny and country, check out Homer and Jethro. They have a live album (Live at the Country Club) that is terrific.

Also, there are some forgotten gems by quote-un-quote Country artists like Roger Miller, Glenn Campbell, Johnny Sea and the one-and-only Johnny Cash that have some classic acoustic/folk music on them. There is also a recording by Tompall Glaser and the Glaser Brothers that has some great harmonies and interesting songs. It kind of falls under the heading of alt-country roots.`

Chanteyranger - That would, iindeed, be Hamilton Camp. He was Bob Camp and then Hamid Hamilton Camp. A singer, actor, writer; a man of many hats and names.
