For some names that weren't mentioned yet that are in the storyteller-songwriter genre from the same era, give a listen to John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, and Bruce Springsteen.

Him too. And there’s more songs than American Pie in the same way that there’s more songs than Cat’s In The Cradle
