Ralph Wash - Played with Paul Butterfield back in the day. I always thought I was the only one who liked him until I recently found out that BB King said Ralph was his favorite guitarist. Check him out on The Boxer with Paul Butterfield.  The guitar solo is about 2 minutes in if you can't wait, but best heard within the context of the whole track.
