I love these stories. I was lucky enough to get my copy of the '64 Ballantine edition signed by Wellman long ago. I remember the movie, too. I think it was based on the story "O Ugly Bird."
I've only read "The Desrick on Yandro", where John sees what no one is supposed to see - the "Behinder" - but I've been getting interested in reading more after reading about Wellman.

I have the Ballentine 1964 collection, which I enjoyed quite a lot. There was also a 1974 film in which the character is "Hillbilly John."
I've read all these John the Balladeer stories. You can't go wrong with Manly Wade Wellman.

If you liked that one, you're almost certainly like the others about John.
