Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carr of the Swampers and Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. The number of instantly recognizable riffs these guys came up with and the number of stars these guys recorded with is ridiculous.

Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
Guy from my town is a musical prodigy. Robert Bowlin. I have hunted and fished with his dad. He could pick up an instrument have someone show him how it is to be played and in a couple of weeks he could master it. Piano, horns, woodwinds, and anything with strings.

Lot'sa folks like that. Sadly, not all of them will ever be recognized.
Guy named Jim Henderson had a star with a show in Branson, Missouri beg him to come play fiddle. Willi g to pay Jim WAY more than he was earning in Podunk, USA. Jim refused. His excuse? "I'm not moving my family to Missouri and I'm not going to stay in Branson without my family!"
That line of work takes a lot of time and dedication. "Time" away from family and the "dedication" to go where the work is.
If you play guitar you know who he is, but you will never hear him on your radio dial. And with Over 150 posts in this thread and I am the first to mention him, maybe not underrated but not mainstream.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
And if one chooses to listen to Classic Rock stations, across the country in my experience, you will hear him with some frequency. Even before he went solo.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
Even I have heard of Robin Trowers and I can't play a Kazoo.
