Read all those comments about a 70s singer I didn't even know, and realized no one had posted this - a guy who was part of every musical decade, from every location. And a guy who knew just how to add whatever was needed to any recording. And nothing more.

He was the tastiest of the tasty. Watch some YouTube videos of him playing and discussing the licks he created. He’s as humble as he is talented...some of them sound like someone sitting around, bored and noodling. Until you realize they are some of the most famous riffs ever.

He was okay. But the studio musician who played the guitar runs in Marty Robbins’ El Paso is my all time favorite, Grady Martin.
