Elvis Presley had cut “It Hurts Me,” a song co-written by Daniels and record producer Bob Johnston, by the time Daniels was eighteen.
Daniels traveled to Nashville in 1967 to work as a session musician at the encouragement of Johnston.
Daniels rapidly found work, appearing on records by Leonard Cohen, Flatt & Scruggs, Claude King, Al Kooper, Marty Robbins, Pete Seeger, Ringo Starr, and, most notably, Bob Dylan.
Daniels can also be heard on Dylan’s Self Portrait and New Morning albums, in addition to Nashville Skyline.
