That's a fine list of songs, Saul. (I could do without Wimoweh...)

It's a good idea, IMO, to include more recent material. There's a slew of great American songwriters who have produced a stellar body of material over the past 30 years; some names that come to mind --

Steve Earle
Lucinda Williams
Gillian Welch
Darrell Scott (check out his A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su06XlGI-w8">"You'll never leave Harlan alive".
