The Story of Don Quixote

Clayton Edwards

Drawn to country music and the culture around it, this Oklahoma-born writer brings a fan’s curiosity and a storyteller’s eye to artist interviews, song histories, and music features. His work for American Songwriter often highlights the roots, personalities, and turning points behind beloved songs and performers.

Arvid Paulson

A Swedish-born laborer turned wanderer and writer, this little-known author drew on years at sea and on the road to write vivid, experience-shaped stories. His life seems to have stretched from Helsingborg to Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, giving his work an unusual sense of movement and firsthand detail.
