Main Series
Bill Staines is a folk circuit perennial, with a resume that stretches from the legendary Club 47 hootenannies of the Sixties to Prairie Home Companion and includes nearly a half-century of singing, songwriting, and recording (more than two dozen albums). His peers pay him the compliment of covering his songs: Peter, Paul, and Mary, Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy, Mason Williams, Jerry Jeff Walker, Nanci Griffith, and Glen Yarborough have all included his compositions on their records.
