As far as the Rev. himself, he's a gifted songwriter and musician AND a world-class smartass--know I gotta love him:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlksjsgu ... ure=topics << with Victor Wainright, one of the better blues pianists
AND finally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAiwS24wPTE << more C&W but isn't that just "blues with a twang? Here, YES
Well, OK, one by Mr. Wainright and the Wildroots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eG85xxrk50

Love the Rev, he played my place in Richmond twice, had fun drinking Makers Mark with him and listening to his stories.
