Hey, Twila, neat post. I didn't ask to be a blues & old-timey troll, and so I'm happy to hear about the stuff that really is resonant in British folk and related for you. So, if you want, I'd follow up and ask how they drive the way you think through the Dogs stuff, if that's your thing. So thanks (although I am more than happy to fight about the assertion that Merle Haggard's best work is "what passed for 'country'").
For all folkies, then, from the New York Times: Actual antecedent for John Henry found: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/18/books/18grim.html?_r=1&oref=slogin.
