I will add:
My kids gave me a coffee-table book called Nashville Portraits by a photog whose name escapes me at the moment; there is a shot of the below-named geniui with a quotye (again, I disremember the name) in the caption - "If there was a just God overseeing the world of country music, Joe Ely, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt would be selling out concert halls and stadiums, and Toby Keith would be selling used stereos out of the back of his pick-up truck."
He was good. Really good.
