'American folk and rock music is an amalgam of
African-American music blended with the Scotch-Irish traditional songs
which influenced country music', says Craig.
'I love these
traditions and I call them the real American classics. Whether it is
Robert Johnson or Mississippi John Hurt, or Hank Williams or Woody
Guthrie or Elvis or Ray Charles you
listen to, all of these people were originals drawing on past
traditional music and creating new embodiments of it. These were the
real greats of America. There are so many talented artists on the
singer-songwriter circuit today. I hope people just enjoy my own small
contribution. It sure gives me a great deal of pleasure to be back
writing and making music after all of these years.
