Jim Stafford.

 Its hard to say what category "Jim Stafford" comes under...he sings , plays guitar and he's a bit crazy in the "Ray Stevens" mode...so I recon he comes under the "Country & Western" with a bit of "Hillbilly" Thrown In !!!...this L/P is excellent it's got the best recording of "Mr Bojangles"to date and a minor hit with "Spiders & Snakes...and I wonder how many people who havn't heard "My Girl Bill" will guess the punch line before he sings it !!!!....to anybody who has not heard of "Jim" its well worth a download....

  1. Thanks for this. I had it many years ago, great to be able to hear it again. Jim Stafford started off his career in a group called The Legends - the other 2 members were Lobo and Gram Parsons
