...undertaker's assistant: a blond-mustached leader who looks like a young General Custer in buckskin and beads, a guitarist wrapped in a double-breasted blue jacket and a pageboy haircut, a woolly thatched drummer who appears to be wearing an entire rummage sale-and a gaunt, somber bassist in black mufti. What is more, their music is as motley as their garb. The blues jostle with Bartok. Country and western blurs into flamenco. Rock blares through misty impressionism...

The gaunt Depression minstrel, with dried-grass hair and a reedy voice, spun off the Oklahoma plains like a cloud of the "dusty old dust" in his ballads to roam the nation singing in transient camps and saloons. His best stanzas staked the folk boom of the '60s, but by then...
