About Dick Burnett Musician
- Richard Daniel (Dick) Burnett (October 8, 1883 – January 23, 1977) was an American folk musician and songwriter from Kentucky. Burnett was born near Monticello, Kentucky.
- Blind for most of his life, he was a full-time travelling entertainer.
- With fiddler Leonard Rutherford he formed a long touring partnership, and a brief recording career in which they cut a number of popular and influential sides with Burnett on banjo or guitar.
- Both men also sang. Burnett has been described as "one of the great natural songsters, a man who collected, codified, and transmitted some of our best traditional songs.
- Dick was also a skilful composer and folk poet of considerable skill; his "Man of Constant Sorrow" remains one of the most evocative country songs."
