Dark and light, serious and humorous, however you want to say it. What artists come to mind? This isn't the norm but there have been exceptions. I guess many don't want to put humorous songs in because it could detract from their 'serious' songs? Especially if they're a songwriter?

Jim Croce comes to mind. As does Paul Thorn. John Prine has some more light-hearted material. Steve Goodman, check. The Beatles also had an eclectic mix on some of their albums. I don't recall the Eagles having humorous songs. Stones? Not really. Neil Diamond, no. Elvis? Maybe uplifting or light-hearted but I can't think of funny songs. Paul Simon? Neil Young? I can't think of any for either of those two.

In country, George Jones did. Johnny Cash did. Willie did. George Strait, not really. Garth Brooks? I guess he did kinda.

Chris Stapleton? No. Jason Isbell? No.

Insight appreciated!
