David Grissom

David Grissom from Louisville, Kentucky and currently of Austin, Texas, is a guitarist known for his early work with Joe Ely, for whom he was the main guitarist between 1985-1991. While still recording with Ely, Grissom went on to join the John Mellencamp Band. Following Mellencamp, he went on to form the critically acclaimed blues rock band Storyville with Malford Milligan (vocals), David Holt (guitar), and Double Trouble together with Tommy Shannon (bass) and Chris Layton (drums). He wrote most of the Storyville songs as well, e.g. Good Day For The Blues. Keep in mind that the music in the LastFM player on the Storyville page is from a British acoustic pop band with the same name though.

David Grissom has since toured with The Allman Brothers Band and the Dixie Chicks. On May 19, 2007, at a free concert titled "The Road To Austin", Bobby Whitlock performed his electric version of Layla and Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad with dueling guitars courtesy of David Grissom and Eric Johnson.
