Cuban-born Isaac Guillory is widely regarded as the best acoustic guitarist in Britain. His unique style and technique defy categorisation and he has worked with the likes of Donovan, Joan Baez and Mick Jagger. He started as a bar musician in the Chicago area, then moved to the UK where in 1973 he signed a recording deal with Atlantic, resulting in the folk oriented 1974 release Isaac Guillory. Guillory continued working as a musician until he died of cancer on New Years eve 2000, at the age of 52.
His 1988 live album Live, recorded on various locations in the UK in 1986, contains a version of "The Weight."
