Way back to 1972. One of the greatest bluegrass flatpickers of all time. He combined crosspicking (that emulates the banjo rolls style on guitar) with the Maybelle Carter style (which in turn was itself descended from the older clawhammer banjo style).

After being discharged from the Army, Blake moved to Nashville and became a studio musician. For ten years, he toured and recorded with country singer Johnny Cash and continued to play with Cash intermittently over the next thirty. He met Nancy Short, a cellist with a classical music background who was playing in a folk group. He was asked by Bob Dylan to play on the country-folk album Nashville Skyline, then became a member of the house band on Johnny Cash's TV show. Kris Kristofferson, one of the guests, hired Blake to tour with him. Blake recorded with folk singer Joan Baez and appeared on her hit song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". In 1971, he became a member of the bluegrass group Aero-plain, led by multi-instrumentalist John Hartford with fiddler Vassar Clements, a short-lived project. Blake also played dobro on the 1972 album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. In 1972, Blake recorded his first solo album, Home in Sulphur Springs (Rounder, 1972). Soon after his debut, he and Nancy recorded their first album, The Fields of November (Flying Fish, 1974), with Nancy on hillbilly cello. They married in 1975 and performed together for twenty years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Bla..._musician)

Patience. There's a long instrumental intro with sustained pauses before the vocals begin. (The former bits arguably kind of necessary for vocal covers to be featured in this thread to begin with.)

Crazy that it took till the 4th page for him to appear in this thread. Finally, something "new" where he's playing alone...
