There are two types of session guitar players. One reads and only plays what the "dots" say. The other adds that something special and plays notes and solos you dream of.
Big Jim Sullivan was such a player. While his work on my songs such as We Will, No Matter How I Try and Why, Oh Why, Oh Why was special, not to mention the album he recorded of Sullivan Plays O'Sullivan, his acoustic work on Alone Again (Naturally) is masterful. The gifted guitarist I now work with, Bill Shanley, is the first to acknowledge this, performing Jim's solos himself at our concerts.
