Ohmygod, I can't believe there isn't a thread for this dude.

One of the most prolific studio guitarists and session musicians in musical history. His playing style transcends genres from blues to jazz and psychedelia. He played with a legion of great bands, including Taj Mahal, Captain Beefheart (

), The Rolling Stones, Earl Hines, the Chieftains, and about fifteen others I'm forgetting.

Anyway, he was a great solo artist as well, with a few GREAT albums out:
Into the Purple Valley (1971)
Boomer's Story (1972)
Paradise and Lunch (1974)
Paris, Texas (1989)

Still producing music at over 60 years old, he was responsible for the success of Buena Vista Social Club as well.

Any other fans?
