More on Bruce Langhorne
Description from Wikipedia:
Bruce Langhorne (born c. 1940) is an American folk musician. He was active in the Greenwich Village folk scene in the 1960s, primarily as a session guitarist for folk-rock albums and performances.
The Bob Dylan song "Mr. Tambourine Man" is written about Langhorne, who used to play a large Turkish frame drum in performances and recordings. The drum, which Langhorne had purchased in a music store in Greenwich Village, had small bells attached around its interior, giving it a jingling sound much like a tambourine. Langhorne used the instrument most prominently with Richard and Mimi FariƱa. Some photos of Langhorne with his drum can be seen here. The drum is now in the collection of Seattle's Experience Music Project.
Langhorne also worked with Bob Dylan, The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, Joan Baez, Richie Havens, Carolyn Hester, Peter LaFarge, Gordon Lightfoot, Hugh Masakela, Odetta, Babatunde Olatunji, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tom Rush, and Buffy Sainte-Marie.
Langhorne composed the highly distinctive music for the cult Peter Fonda western film The Hired Hand (1971), which combined sitar, fiddle, and banjo to great effect. He also provided the film score for Fonda's 1973 science fiction film Idaho Transfer.
In 1992 Langhorne founded a hot sauce company known as Brother Bru-Bru's African Hot Sauce. This hot sauce is unique for containing "African Spices."
