One hell of a guitar picker in the tradition of his dad, Merle Travis.

    What a fabulous player. Great voice and huge personality. Learned much from Merle then took it in his own direction. A traditional thumbpicker but also with the funkiness of Jerry Reed.

    This vid of him performing some years ago when he was literally larger than life is how I’ll always think of him. A great loss. RIP Thom.

    Yes indeed a great voice too! Reminds me a lot of Doc Watson's voice - it's not doing that much but has such a lovely timbre that (a someone once said about Doc) "I could listen to him just reading the phone book".
