Hank Garland, 74, a Versatile Guitarist, Dies
NY Times
Hank Garland, a country, rock and jazz guitarist who performed with Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Charlie Parker and many others, died here on Monday. He was 74.
The cause was a staph infection, his brother, Billy Garland, said.
In the 1950’s and 60’s, Walter Garland, called Hank, was the talk of Nashville, a studio artist known for musical riffs that could take a recording from humdrum to dazzling, as he did on Presley hits like “Little Sister” and “Big Hunk of Love.”
