Overview
Jesse Ed Davis shared stages with the greatest music stars of the 1960s and ā70s. His riffs and licks enlivened albums by three of four Beatles, and recordings by artists as distinct as Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, and Cher. But Davisāwhose name has been all but lost to the annals of rock ānā roll historyāwas more than just the most versatile session guitarist of the decade. By pairing bright flourishes with soulful melodies, Davis exploded our idea of what rock music could be, and who could make it. Interweaving more than a hundred interviews with legendary peers, bandmates, and family members, Washita Love Child reimagines the Kiowa-Comanche musicianās improbable career, from his childhood in Oklahoma to his first major gig backing rockabilly star Conway Twitty, and from his climactic, dramatic performance at George Harrisonās 1971 Concert for Bangladesh to his tragic demise, years later, in Los Angeles.
