Here is some wonderful information about Layton Elliott's musical career from his website:

Layton
Elliott began playing the guitar in 1969 and wrote his first song in
1971. A native Washingtonian, Layton spent much time playing in garage
bands, blues bands, country bands and Irish bands, and performs
occasionally as a solo act in coffee houses and bars. He has a unique
finger picking style that he developed on his own; he plays all
instruments on his albums and arranges all his works. Layton spent two
years studying Music Theory and Composition back in the seventies and is
also a published poet (See The Collected Poems of Layton Elliott at
http://www.amazon.com/The-Collected-Poems-Layton-Elliott/dp/1413794513).
He is often described as having "a way with words". Early influences
included The Beatles, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Jim Croce, Gordon
Lightfoot, and Neil Young. Layton has a baritone voice and enjoys
transposing and rearranging 60's and 70's songs to suite his range and
style.
