My friend Wes McGhee, the guitarist and songwriter, who has died aged 77, released 10 solo studio albums between 1978 and 2006, many of them recorded in Austin, Texas, where he made a name for himself.
Recognised there as a songwriter who really understood the country tradition, despite hailing from Leicestershire, for many years he travelled between the UK and the US to record and tour – and to produce other musicians’ records.
