“Spider” John Koerner – Some American Folk Songs Like They Used To

I guess he is ‘Americana’ or a folk musician. He was a big influence on Bob Dylan, and boy he’s one of my favourite musicians. You really need to look him up. He’s released about seven or eight albums that I know of and they’re all very fine albums. Our college radio station was having a sale of a lot of records that they were not playing at that time and the cover art really struck me. My brother David bought it and it was one of our favourite albums. We just played it over and over and over again.
