Never heard of him, but after looking into his bio, I see he was a force in the folk music world. Having had Johnny Cash, Dolly Pardon, and even Les Claypool perform his tune "The Battle Of New Orleans" is a notable achievement.

Not too sure about similar artists, maybe look into some Doc Watson, or Leonard Cohen. I was gonna say maybe Slim Whitman, but he's a yodeler, or Boxcar Willie, but he's more country than folk. At any rate, thanks for bringing him up. A nice little slice of Americana.
