By the time Daniels was eighteen, Elvis Presley had recorded “It Hurts Me,” a song co-written by Daniels and record producer Bob Johnston.

Daniels relocated to Nashville in 1967 to work as a session musician at the encouragement of Johnston.

Daniels rapidly found work, appearing on albums by musicians such as Leonard Cohen, Flatt & Scruggs, Claude King, Al Kooper, Marty Robbins, Pete Seeger, Ringo Starr, and, most notably, Bob Dylan.

Daniels can be heard on Dylan’s Self Portrait and New Morning albums, in addition to Nashville Skyline.
