Sonny Rhodes, Jimmy McCracklin, Vernon Garret, Dottie Ivory, etc. After moving to Los Angeles, he opened for Robin Trower, Robin Ford, Tex and the Horseheads, Top Jimmy, and many others and became lead guitarist for Solomon Burke. His 1986 blues album "My Heart Attacked Me" got wide airplay, but with no U.S. distribution, sold mainly in Italy and Holland.
