He opened for Jerry Jeff Walker back in the early 60's. Had two albums out on Capitol at that time.....But they didn't do much to push him. I guess they didn't think he was country enough and the I guess he wasn't folk enough... Like Rick says, give him a listen. I like his takes on Woody Guthrie very much.....Nice and laid back and acoustic...... He still lives in Nashville and apparently hasn't been ruined by the Nashville "Plague"...... Frank of Toledo
