Anyone named Merle, Doc, Woody, Buck, Willie or Hank and we really like Lucero
More elusive than a Western jackalope, thicker-headed than a wild boar, with the tender heart of a wolverine, Possum Jones appears out of the night like the ghost of Christmas that you never knew you could live without, bearing a gift the whole world can cherish. A new Christmas carol for the ages, always an instant classic. After Possum has touched your life, you will realize how empty your life was prior.
But no sooner has he appeared, bestowed his gift, taken a bow, drank all your beer and knocked up your daughter, he recedes in to the night like the ebb of the tide, returning to the single wide from which he came.
Song catchers such as John and Alan Lomax and Moses Asch spent much of their careers seeking out the legend that had become Possum Jones, with the unintended results of discovering the likes of Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter, Mississippi John Hurt, the Carter Family, Doc Watson and Woody Guthrie. But the Holy Grail of true, down home Americana eluded them.
Much like Santa Claus, he exists solely in myth for many. But for those select few that have had the life-affirming opportunity of hearing Possum Jones' gift of song, their lives are just a bit better than yours.
