It is good to back to the roots of music for inspiration. One of the most influential artists is Jimmie Rodgers. His music has been covered by many artists from country to rock. Here is the song "Waiting for a Train." Here is a cover of the same song by Boz Scaggs. The small ditty "Blue Yodel No. 1 (T for Texas)" is turned into a powerful jam session by Lynyrd Skynyrd (Please listen carefully to the lyrics of this song. I believe this is where Jerry Garcia picked up the line verse that was added to the acoustic versions of I Know You Rider.) The song "In the Jailhouse Now" was actually covered by Rodgers. The original was done by Blind Blake. If you saw the Coen Brother's masterpiece "Oh Brother, Where Are Art Thou?", there is another cover of this tune done by Tim Blake Nelson (yes, he is actually singing in the movie.)
