Floyd Tillman is one of the least appreciated great American
songwriters. His chord structures just floor me every time I hear or
play one. He literally had the first cheatin' song hit. His melodies are
beautiful. Get him.
He is still very much alive and plays occasionally in Texas. He was big
in Houston and was the resident influence there on a whole generation of
young guys, including Willie.
