This Dallas native and Austin fixture was co-lead guitarist in the Cobras with
Stevie Vaughan, before joining
Angela Strehli (cutting two solo LPs during his stint with the songstress), contributing to Big Guitars from Texas, and recording with
Lou Ann Barton. More original and out-on-a-limb than most textbook-blues players, he co-wrote "Baboom/Mama Said" on the
Vaughan Brothers'
Family Style and played guitar and piano on tour with
Jimmie Vaughan following the latter's
Strange Pleasure. ~ Dan Forte
