The COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM in NASHVILLE has opened a new exhibit exploring the musical contributions of DICK CURLESS (1932-1995). DICK CURLESS: HARD TRAVELING MAN FROM MAINE is now open and runs through JANUARY 7th, 2024.
CURLESS charted 22 songs on the BILLBOARD Country chart between 1965 and 1973, including the top 5 1965 hit, "A Tombstone Every Mile," his only top 10 song. The exhibit traces CURLESS’s life and legacy, from his rural Northeast upbringing and popular truck-driving songs of the 1960s and ‘70s, to his 1995 return to recording with his final album, TRAVELING THROUGH. The exhibit features a selection of instruments, stage wear and personal artifacts donated to the museum’s collection by the CURLESS family.
