 Paul Craft is one of four songwriters to have two solely-written songs nominated for a Grammy in the Best Country Song category in the same year (1977). The songs were Dropkick Me, Jesus (through the goal posts of life) and Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life.
His song Midnight Flyer was included on an Eagles album (On the Border) and Keep Me From Blowing Away was part of Linda Rondstadt’s album Heart Like a Wheel in 1975.
As a performer, Craft has appeared with Chet Atkins, JJ Cale, Dave and Sugar, Dickey Lee, Billy Edd Wheeler, Jack Clement, George Jones, Don McLean, Mac Davis and others.
