Michael Thompson - big US sessioner on a lot of hits and has his own band. He's very much of the Lukather, Landau, Huff, Tim Pierce ilk but excels at the clean sound parts. He featured quite a bit on those early Xotic Effects demo vids around the same time as another who should be mentioned, Allen Hinds.
Carlos Rios of Lionel Richie's band but his work on Gino Vannelli's 'Brother to Brother' album was outstanding and he was held in high esteem by his peers at the time, namely Larry Carlton.
The cohort of Jellyfish guitarists - Eric Drover, Jason Falkner, Lyle Workman (TV/Film and Beck) and Jon Brion - check out his work on the Aimee Mann albums and the track 'I should've known'
Lastly, if you know, you know with this guy and we've all heard him - the late, great Ian Bairnson of Pilot and the Alan Parsons Project and that's also him on the early Kate Bush albums and it's his solo at the end of 'Wuthering Heights'. A fantastic player with great melodic phrasing that should've been recognised by a more a wider audience when he was alive.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
I found this today (it’s 6 months old) & thought you might enjoy it. It’s from Tom Bukovac’s YouTube channel.

At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
Another shout for Blake Mills. His album with Pino and Sam Gendel ('Notes with Attachments ') is excellent. I listen to it often.
Brandon Ross - NY player of the ferocious free/jazz/ rock group Harriet Tubman. Also partnered Kevin Breit on Cassandra Wilson's 'New Moon Daughter' wherein they did a stunning reinvention of blues accompaniment.
James Deprato of Chuck Prophet's band. Killer phrasing, always playing the right thing in the right place, like a modern day Mike Campbell.
Eivind Aarset - Norwegian ambient/impressionist/electronic guitarist with excellent songwriting skills and a tremendous ear for melody.
David Torn (prob not an unknown by now)
Mark Stewart - plays with Paul Simon but also a big part of the Bang on a Can Allstars. Multi instrumentalist with incredible musicality.
Joe Gore - played with Waits, PJ Harvey, Tracey Chapman.Currently doing some excellent duet vids with Campilongo.
Duke Levine - currently with Bonnie Raitt but known for many sideman gigs. My particular favourite things he does are with Club d'elf and The Super Sweet Sounds of the 70's.
Steve Tibbetts - instrumental guitarist/composer whose records veer between electric meltdown and acoustic beauty. Heavy world music influences especially gamelan.
Teddy Kumpel - plays with Joe Jackson but go and check out his Loopestra stuff. Unbelievable.
Loads more but that's a good sample.
Hard agree on Joe Gore, too. His stuff is on the best tunes on Bone Machine. I’ve enjoyed his recent duets with Jim Campilongo, too.
Agree Bone Machine is a great album. Joe is pretty active and chatty on TGP, and turns out he's a lovely guy.
Stuart Mathis the current guy with Lucinda also phenomenal.
My favourite musician and producer is John Leventhal who just released an incredible solo record. Produced Shawn Colvin, Walking in Memphis, and many more.
It seems boring to say it these days, but I challenge anyone to deep dive into Blake Mills YouTube search and argue that he isn't one of the best to ever do it...
