Born before Merle Travis released Folk Songs of the Hills in 1947 containing the song Muskrat in 1947, on, let's say, May 4?

Yes. (I believe round 258 contained a discussion of what was the definition of jazz music.)

Was this human born in a U.S. state that isn't triple landlocked (any state except Nebraska)?
Yes.
