Mike Henderson

Guitarist, singer and songwriter Mike Henderson carved a niche for himself as a session guitarist over the years in the Nashville studio scene before he began recording under his own name with his own blues band, The Bluebloods. He began playing mandolin and moved from Missouri to Nashville. Trained as a mandolin player and flat-top guitarist, he soon found work in the Nashville studio scene as a slide guitarist.



Henderson's albums on the Dead Reckoning label include Edge Of Night (1994), First Blood (1996) and Oakland Blues (1998). Henderson uses a stellar lineup of supporting musicians on First Blood -- Reese Wynans, Glenn Worf and John Gardner -- making it one of the best (and unfortunately most overlooked) releases of 1996. Collectively, these musicians have recorded and performed with John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, Kevin Welch, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mark Knopfler, Lonnie Mack, Aaron Neville, Larry Carlton, Johnny Cash, Al Kooper, Tracy Nelson, Rory Block, Sonny Burgess and Delbert Mcclinton.
