One of my favorite musicians is William Elliott Whitmore. He does a lot of blues, folk, old style country, and bluegrass, all tinged with punk (he got his start in the LA punk scene, interestingly enough.) He has a song called Lift My Jug (A Song for Hub Cale). Hub Cale is a hobo that Whitmore has known since he was a kid. I really love this song (Seriously, everything by him. I'd try to suggest songs, but there's such a wide array that any one doesn't do him justice. There's something for everyone in his work) and I really loved the idea of songs about hobos, so I went on a binge of other musicians who do that well; Merle Haggard, Harry McClintock, and Woody Guthrie and the likes. Man I love my bluegrass.
