Of the many hits charted by Paul Revere & the Raiders, the biggest was 1971's "Indian Reservation." By contrast, the Nashville Teens was a one-hit wonder band that only broke the Top 20 in 1964 with the hard-edged "Tobacco Road." The genius behind both these hits is John D. Loudermilk, a prolific singer-songwriter of the 1960s and 70s. Loudermilk was raised in Durham, South Carolina, which informed his songs about Southern poverty and the infamous "Trail of Tears": the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation from the South to reservations in what is now Oklahoma.
