This dude first crossed my path in ‘72 (or thereabouts) when I heard his third album. The song Muse Blues really struck a chord as I was trying and failing to master the guitar and had delusions of becoming a song writer - even owned the spiral notepad and pencil!
Have since then seen him perform live on at least six occasions and have never been disappointed, he throws his body into his performances (might have slowed down a bit now) and his gurning* has to be seen to be believed. Even stayed in the same small hotel as him when he played the Cambridge Folk Festival back in the eighties - decided that he probably wanted to concentrate on his breakfast and not be harassed by a fan at that time of the morning. His humour might not be to everyone’s taste but he can always make me smile.
So here we have Nocturnal Stumblebutt, Mr Guilty a finally his “hit” Dead Skunk.
* Note for overseas readers a gurn is a distorted facial expression, and a verb to describe the action.

I passed a dead skunk in the middle of the road a couple of days ago. Stinky! Bleh.
Um, I'm from Arkansas. Do you think Dead Skunk really was a hit in Little ROck, or do you think he's making a statement on hillbillies?
Well it is his only chart record to date - I feel sure that some of his best friends are Hillbillies :)
