Why he might be annoying:

    His career with Jimmy Wakely and Scotty Harrell included recording for two labels simultaneously, under two different monikers.
    Much of his mid-60s/late-60s material centered around drinking songs.
    He was a B-western mainstay, sometimes as a singing cowboy.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the first of the Bond-Wakely-Harrell triad to receive a solo recording contract.
    His acoustic guitar style was a characteristic of Gene Autry material.
    Unlike his fellows in the industry, he was not particularly bothered by the advent of rock ’n roll. In fact, he was willing to embrace the new sound.
    With Tex Ritter as partner, he was part of a music publishing business.
