There's an L L Bean commercial currently making the rounds which features the song "Big Rock Candy Mountains" in the background. But it will be interesting to see if more of us recognize the late Harry K. "Haywire Mac" McClintock as the artist.

Mr. McClintock was cut from a lot of the same cloth as Woody Guthrie: DPM and the gang at Trains never paid much attention to him, but he made more than a few appearaces among the earthier content of Freeman Hubbard's Railroad.
And once in a great while, some of his repertoire, which was larger than generally known, will show up on a PBS or similar broadcast.
Nice to see a little niche of Americana, which ought to be familar to more of us, resurrected.
