Hugh McCracken (guitar)

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY:

Magnificent guitarist, also a skilled harmonica player, Hugh McCracken can be found in countless albums. He has worked with almost every great artist in music: from Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Dr John, B B King, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Petula Clark, as well as jazz and fusion artists, such as Ron Carter, Tom Scott, Bob James, Herbie Mann...

Hugh McCracken was born on March 31st, 1942 (some other sources say 1952, don´t know which is correct).

It´s difficult tracing his live tours, so I just include here what I´ve been able to find. So, if anyone could help me with additional info, it would be very welcomed.
