Dick Curless was a big man with a eye-patch, who had a mighty voice and a devout soul. Most people remember him from the #5 Billboard country'n'western hit of 1965, "Tombstone Every Mile" about a deadly highway in Maine. In the late sixties and early seventies Mr. Curless became one of the first real stars of trucker country music, but his recording career included also lots of different stuff from gospel and blues to straight rock'n'roll.
