Come on! Give us some more info here! I want to see something like the article Pete Seeger or Tom Paley.
Borrow the info box from those articles and adapt for Odell McLeod. Take a look at the categories. What can be used?
Very soon you will have to move the article page from Mac Odell to Odell McLeod. And a redirect will be made, so the name will be used to find the article both ways. But, don't worry about that right now. Start filling out this article!
You will find out that his real name can be used or referenced in other articles. By linking his name to this article, it no longer becomes an orphan. Got the idea yet?
A quick check on line finds;

It's getting better. Any pictures of the subject? Jrcrin001 (talk) 02:06, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wish. There are a few out there that I found but not sure if they are fair use. Take a look at Hillbilly Music, Scratchy Attic?, and Country Sales. Looks like most of the people he worked with are also deceased or pretty old. The last record I see of him with a label was in the 1950s. Not sure how else to track down some images. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:20, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
