Clarence White was amazing guitar player. His life was cut short when he was killed by a drunken driver. He was a favorite of his contemporary Jimi Hendrix, who use to listen to him all the time. And they might not be the pure form of country to the purest country fan. He was influential to every chickin pickin guit-fiddler or Master of the Telecaster that came after him. They not only accept his style of playing they made it their Bible.
