Merle Travis
Merle Travis (Rosewood (Kentucky), 29 november 1917 - Tahlequah, 20 oktober 1983) was een Amerikaanse country-muzikant, -zanger en songwriter. De teksten van zijn liedjes gingen vaak over zowel het leven als de economische uitbuiting van Amerikaanse mijnwerkers. Onder zijn vele bekende nummers en opnamen zijn Sixteen Tons, Re-Enlistment Blues, I am a Pilgrim en Dark as a Dungeon. Het is echter zijn unieke gitaarstijl, die door gitaristen nog steeds Travis-picking wordt genoemd, evenals zijn interpretaties van de rijke muzikale tradities van zijn geboorteland Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, waarvoor hij tegenwoordig het meest bekend is.
