I heard him once or twice in the late '60s on WBAI in New York, and saw him play once at the Bitter End around the same time. He was a consummate pro, a brilliant songwriter, and I don't understand why he didn't persist. Personal reasons, no doubt. He's baking bread "somewhere in the south, I heard them say." Lucky we at least have those albums. Paul Siebel was about as good and authentic as it gets. Yeah, I don’t know.

The only time I ever heard one of his songs played on the radio was when I visited Europe in 1980. I was driving through Belgium, and they were playing his version of "In the Jailhouse Now." Linda Ronstadt did a cover of "Louise" on her album "Silk Purse," and Bonnie Raitt covered the song on her album "Sweet Forgiveness." And in his introduction to "The Pilgrim, Chapter 33," Kris Kristofferson cites Paul Siebel (along with eight or nine others).
