When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed

Charles Edward Daniels (October 28, 1936 – July 6, 2020) was an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his contributions to Southern rock, country, and bluegrass music.

While he worked as a Nashville session musician, often for Bob Johnston, he played guitar and electric bass on four Bob Dylan albums:

  • Nashville Skyline (1969)
  • Self Portrait (1970)
  • New Morning (1970)
  • Dylan (1973)
