Tim May and Brad Davis jam on "Farewell Blues".Tim May is a world-class guitarist, resophonic guitarist, and mandolinist who started out playing banjo in the family band growing up in Mississippi.

He was one of the central performers and the primary chartist for the "Moody Bluegrass" project that married the best bluegrass instrumentalists and singers with classic Moody Blues music. He's an accomplished songwriter and singer as well, as evidenced by his new solo CD, "Find My Way Back.".
