Steve Stewart, writing in the on-line Tidewater News this week, said, "I never disliked the genre, but my taste ran to more obscure country artists — like John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, Todd Snider, Tift Merritt and Lucinda Williams ... "
Now, I'm glad he was onto Tift before he became a "country convert," but I'm a little amused at is classification of Prine, Walker and Williams, along with Tift, as "obscure." Even I have heard of them.
