About Me

I am a singer songwriter, originally from Ontario, Canada. I'm a country boy at heart, but I moved from my small town to Hollywood to make it big. I had a string of hits in the 70s, and I have been putting out records since the 60s. I was flattered when Bob Dylan covered my song 'Early Morning Rain' on his album, "Self Portrait". Two of my biggest thrills are being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1986, and the Canadian Country Hall of Fame in 2001. I quit drinking in 1975, and I have never looked back!
