An artist that I missed completely when he was in his prime

Jesse Ed Davis. His name is mentioned in the Christy Moore song ‘And Rory’s Gone’ so I Googled and learned a little about him. I hope to get one of his CDs, he comes across as a mix of a lot of great performers while still sounding himself.

    Long gone, alas. Famous for his slide playing on Taj Mahal's "Statesbro Blues" and his lovely tone through a Leslie. He knew all the stars, plenty of guest appearances (see the Wikipedia entry for his large and impressive session discography), had 3 solo albums but his songs weren't as good as his guitar playing and he never overcame his problems.
