Behind every great singer, there’s a great sideman. No larger-than-life frontman exists without a guitarist they can rely on\u2014someone laying down the riffs and only stepping into the spotlight for a few brief moments during the show. There\u2019s no Mick without Keith, no Plant without Page, and no Lenny Kravitz without Craig Ross.<\/p>\n
In 1991, Lenny Kravitz was on the brink of mainstream stardom: he had just written a hit for Madonna, produced an album for Vanessa Paradis, and his own record *Mama Said* was getting heavy radio play with singles like \u201cAlways On The Run\u201d and \u201cIt Ain\u2019t Over \u2019Til It\u2019s Over.\u201d A self-proclaimed control freak, Kravitz typically played all the instruments on his albums, with a few handpicked guests\u2014like Slash, who appears on two tracks. But for his tour, he needed someone he could trust. Someone who could deliver that same warm, vintage guitar tone, play like the boss, and bring fresh ideas to complement him.<\/p>\n
Very few musicians could live up to that challenge\u2014but it wasn\u2019t an issue for Craig Ross. Already known as a stellar guitarist from his band The Broken Homes, Ross passed Kravitz\u2019s ultimate test when he joined the *Mama Said* tour. The results exceeded expectations, and from that moment on, Kravitz never played without him again.<\/p>\n
On the next album, *Are You Gonna Go My Way* (1993), Ross played numerous guitar parts and even co-wrote three songs: the title track, \u201cIs There Any Love in Your Heart,\u201d and \u201cMy Love.\u201d To this day, Ross has played on nine Kravitz albums, all while finding time and energy to perform with superstars like The Black Crowes and B.B. King. Ross is the very definition of a world-class sideman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
