I've been listening to his guitar (mainly through Jackson Browne) since the 70s. He was so incredibly talented, especially playing slide, and his falsetto on Stay is magical. Some years after college, I moved back to Claremont CA for several years and lived a few blocks from his house. The music store in town had walls covered with his guitars and other unique instruments he had loaned to the store for display. I got to see him play with his band, El Rayo-X, at the San Juan Capistrano Coach House in the late 80s. Great show, and lots of fun in a cool, smaller venue. They put out an album called Very Greasy in 1988. Every song is wonderful, including the covers of Werewolves of London and Papa was a Rolling Stone. I still listen to it every once in a while.
