A little late in posting this but Samuel Charters died last month. Charters was hugely influential in introducing a vast amount of roots music- blues artists as well as country blues and the music of Appalachia- to a much wider audience. His books and liner notes are always worth checking out.
A very important figure in American music. R.I.P., Samuel Charters.

Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.
