Search - Paul Craft :: Too Bad You're No Good

A glance at the song titles on Paul Craft's new CD is enough to tell you that this Nashville songwriter is a master craftsman indeed. Many of Craft's songs have become bluegrass and country music classics, recorded by such artists as Alison Krauss, Bobby Bare, the Osborne Brothers, Bobby Bare, the Seldom Scene, Moe Bandy, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, and the Eagles. Paul Craft is one of four songwriters to have two solely-written songs nominated for a Grammy in the Best Country Song category in the same year (1977). The songs were Dropkick Me, Jesus (through the goal posts of life) sung by Bobby Bare and Moe Bandy's Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life. Given the amount of co-written songs coming out of Nashville and music in general, that statistic will probably stick around for a while.
