Rock on! ~ Donna
Loved Jesse! Did Doctor My Eyes with him and many projects after that. Such a great musician and guy and just tragic.........
funny how the most sensitive and creative are prone to feel so much that they get lost in it. it's both a blessing and a curse. the rawness of the cruel world on those so sensitive is a thing they try to escape.
RIP JED. With all the love.
the best!!!
tho, if memory serves it was The Ash Grove not the Whiskey where The Stones came to see him..i was there!
Rest in Peace
Thanks for this Donna. It was great to put a name and face with someone I had apparently heard numerous times. I went to Wiki and looked at the list of people he had played with. It was full of names we all know. I was floored.
He even played with David Cassidy!!!!
@@rhemmie2825 Cassidy was a serious blues artist who couldn't shake his bumble gum, pop star persona
@@berryscott3590 yes I know. I discovered B.B.King because of David Cassidy in 1972. He was quoted in an article that The Thrill is Gone was his favorite song. So I had to find that song and hear it. It was much harder before computers.
Damn it man...R.I.P.❤
Jesse was a great guitarist and brought attention to people about Native musicians as well!!
excellent, thanks for uploading this.
His work with Nilsson & Lennon Pussycats. The brightest stars burn quickest. R.I.P. Jessie “Ed” Davis
Pussycats? Wow! Thanks for pointing that out. RIP, all 3.
@@jonnierotten7Jesse played on most of Harry's records, they were good friends.
For years I thought the “ Doctor my Eyes” solo was done by Danny Kortchmar. It was always one of my favorite guitar solos in that it just seemed to be this melodic stream that flowed from someone that was very consciously tuned to the music. 50 or so years later, after hearing Jesse Ed play along side Elliot Easton live and also running monitors at a Taj Mahal concert, I found out on Leland Sklar’s CZcams channel that Jesse Ed Davis had played that solo. I then found out that Duane Allman got a lot of his slide licks from listening to Jesse Ed playing on Taj’s records. It is truly heartbreaking that such a great talent has left us and I have deep empathy for the pain felt by those who were a part of his life.
No offence intended but, when it come to feeling, Danny Kortchmar couldn't carry Ed Davis' shoes.
Whenever I listen to his music it makes me sad but it also always makes me happy!
The first time I heard him, as a youbg gitar student in 1970, not yet knowing who he was...it was his guitarplaying on Leon Russell's version of Hard Rain Is Going To Fall.....his playing just blew me away, His playing was so concise, economical, yet soulful, wiht a Great sense of touch and rhtymn. Jesse Ed Davis was a Huge influence on me as a guitarist.
I can't "Thank-You" enough for the ultra dare pics + vids of JED. I been looking everywhere + you can bet that this one I'll replay over + over.
Much appreciated! ❤
Double E giving the love...I knew it about Tyler and Taj! My God everyone in this video...giving the love
Jesse's Davis Love His GUITAR
Wow. 62 and I've never been aware of this man. Btw I got here through researching Redbone.
You don’t know music if you don’t know Jesse Ed Davis
Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas were the founders of Redbone.
They were of Mexican descent, but Mexicans are native American Indians too, aren't they?😄
Grew up with Redbone on the radio. Thx to internet I discovered their history. I highly recommend doing the same. And yes...another great "sibling" band!✌️
Give " states Boro Blues " and "leaving trunk " by Taj Mahal a listen.
Jesse and Taj
I LOVED the guitar parts Davis played on Taj Mahal's self-titled album and Taj's "Natch'l Blues" album. Had no clue who it was at the time, and only learned recently that he played the phenomenal solo on "Doctor My Eyes." Oh, the damage done.
He had a snap to his rhythm, you always wait for the solo IN DME
Jesse Ed what a player, Jesse & Hubert Sumlin👍😊
Love it
So good.
cool
The solo on #9 Dream is mesmerizing.
Ohhhh that's HIM!!?? I always wondered, amazing.
Wow, to hear that the Doctor My Eyes solo was one listen, one take DONE.
I learned Statesboro Blues when I was 14. 1969.
I always wondered who played guitar on Doctor My Eyes.
Think his Keep Me Comin' album is one of the swankiest, but tight performances of all time. That band cracks.
I hate drug pushers. I hate drugs. when are people going to wake up. Drugs came into my band. I left.
John Lennon’s Bless You , has some of the most beautiful riffs of JED
One of the forgotten talents of yesteryear.
When it comes to guitar players, Ed Davis will never be forgotten.
Damn you Rod Stewart
Was it Stewart or someone else from The Faces? I don't pay attention to Rod, was he into smack? He seems more of a coke guy, gets to stare at himself in the mirror.
It was Ronnie Wood primarily from what I’ve been told.
A documentary about native musicians I watched a good friend of Jesse said he went on tour with Rod Stewart in the 80's and he never did heroin before that after the tour he came back a addict and it sent his life into a downward spiral.
Got to know Jesse some when he lived in Hawaii. He said he and Ronnie used to do speedballs sometimes during the shows when there was the breaks for drum solos. That was the beginning.
Elliot Easton ?

Miigwich!
And I always thought Jackson Brown was the guitar player
