Here’s a shout out to Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, guitarist extraordinaire and defense contractor. He’s played an important role in creating and playing some of the best rock music.
I’m sure you are quite familiar with his work with Steely Dan as a founding member, and then his later work with The Doobie Brothers. He also played with Jimi Hendrix for a short while when they were both starting out, in Hendrix’s band Jimmy James and The Blue Flames.
He’s played as a session musician for so many artists, including Little Feat, Dolly Parton, Cher, Bryan Adams and Ringo Starr. Unfortunately for some artists, it’s difficult to pinpoint which songs he’s actually played on as the album info I’ve been able to dig out does not provide credits down to the song level. I’ve included songs in this playlist that I could determine Baxter played on.
Here is a link to his Facebook page, a link to his wiki page, and a link to an article on him at the Guitars Exchange website.
