George Riley Puckett (7 May 1894 - 14 July 1946) was a country music pioneer, born in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA. An accident during infancy left him blind. He sang and played guitar and banjo. He was first heard on the radio as a part of Clayton McMichen's Hometown Band; he was also a member of Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers. (& see Gid Tanner & The Skillet Lickers) 'Rock All Our Babies To Sleep' established him as probably the first country-music artist to yodel on records.
Puckett's most famous songs were 'Ragged But Right' and 'Darky's Wail'.
