Biography

George Riley Puckett (May 7, 1894 – July 13, 1946) was an American country music artist, best known as a member of Skillet Lickers. His dynamic single-string guitar playing, featuring dramatic bass runs, earned for him an enviable reputation as an instrumentalist. Many aspiring guitarists who followed him have studied and copied his style. Although he was an accomplished musician on several instruments, his singing was most responsible for establishing him as an important figure in the history of country music.
