Robert Wayne Childers (November 20, 1946 – April 22, 2008) was an American country-folk musician and singer-songwriter from the state of Oklahoma.[1] Both before and after his death, he achieved widespread critical acclaim having been compared to songwriters such as Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. Childers is often labeled the "father", "grandfather", or "godfather" of the regional Oklahoman music scene known as Red Dirt music.[2]
