A consummate pocket player given to soulful grooves, Gary Gilmore served as the anchor of Taj Mahal’s early watershed slabs and ensembles which introduced a new generation to traditional folk blues and a guitarist named Jesse Ed Davis. Gary also helmed seminal platters by J.J Cale, among others, including Slowhand drummer extraordinaire Jamie Oldaker’s tribute to Oklahoma’s rich musical heritage, aptly entitled Mad Dogs & Okies (2005).
