A Nashville-born guitarist who writes about love and loss over acoustic arrangements.
For a quick sense of his style, try "Let Your Light Shine" or "Come On In My Kitchen." They're both good examples of how he handles a song.
He's a four-time Grammy winner who took home the National Medal of Arts, but his songs stay grounded in personal storytelling. Tracks like "Let Your Light Shine" and "A Letter To Tracy" show that directness, with lyrics that feel lived-in rather than polished. His work with Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne hints at a respect that runs deeper than just session credits.
He started in Nashville clubs before doing session work, influenced early on by Robert Johnson and B.B. King. Albums like 1996's "Just Like You" and 2017's "BLUESAmericana" bookend a run that kept his acoustic blues sound intact.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
