TomSea:
Commander Cody and Asleep at the Wheel are really revivalist of songs that might have been forgotten, CC performed "My window faces the South", good song, here are some people from the Far East performing it:
For a fact, Merle Haggard preserved the tradition and maybe Willie too:
And Asleep at the Wheel even performed some of the songs, Commander Cody did like Hot Rod Lincoln and House of Blue Lights. Here is "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie", a song they are known for:
They probably did about as much as to keep the music alive as anyone and the head-guy from Asleep at the wheel is from New England originally.
Some older truckin' music, "Diesel on my tail":

http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/born_today
Any music is welcomed, not just who is born today but anyway, on the topic of birthdays,
Marty Balin and Phil Collins and Steve Marriot were all born on this day in history, so in no particular order:
Horst Jankowski, "A Walk in the Black Forest"
Joe Terranova of Danny and the Juniors, 'At the Hop'.
There was a good rendition of this song in "American Graffiti" performed by Flash Cadillac.
Phil Collins, "In the air tonight" with Eric Clapton and "Follow me, Follow You" with Genesis:
Steve Marriot, Humble Pie and the Small Faces with "Rolling Stone" and "All Or Nothing"
Jody Watley, "I"m looking for a new love", the listing said she was in Shalamar too.
Marty Balin, Jefferson Airplane, Starship and solo projects:
'Crown of Creation' and 'High Flying Bird', the latter from their first album.
Ruth Brown, "Sugar Lips", was she posted a few weeks ago? It doesn't matter.

Jeanne Pruett, someone used one of her songs in the music game just the other day.
"Satin Sheets" (To lye on):
Also, before Dolly Parton, on Porter Waggoner's tv show, they had Norma Jean:
"Foggy Mountain Top":
"Truck Driving Woman", some of the so-called "trucking" songs, catered to a certain audience, so, at times, I think a number of them can be underrated as to how good they are.
A little boy is what my daddy wanted a little girl just didn't fit his plans
To help him on the road when he was on it cause daddy was a truck drivin' man
So I was raised on truck drivin' stories I know every legend of the road
From Phantom 309 in all its glory to the widow maker's truck drivin' cold
And I'm a truck drivin' woman my daddy taught me everything he knew
I'm a truck drivin' woman and this woman's gonna fill her daddy's shoes
[ guitar ]
So if you boys still think you cannot run me
Just ask the Greyhounds I've left even dust
You've gotta travel fast to make big money and when I go I giddyup go or bust
