Except for his standing gig on the Grand Ole Opry, he was mostly forgotten.

I know basically nothing about country music but I always thought that appearing at the Grand Ole Opry was the holy grail of country singers.How does that equate with obscurity?

When that is the ONLY place you’re appearing, it’s obscurity. I like his work, and I thought he’d died years ago. No new albums? Dude must be daid!

Now, you’ll have to excuse me, I need to search Amazon...
