Duane Jarvis (August 22, 1957 – April 1, 2009)[1] was an American guitarist and singer-songwriter who recorded, wrote songs and toured with many rock and roll and country music performers, including Frank Black, Peter Case, Rosie Flores, John Prine, Amy Rigby, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Tim Carroll, and Gene Clark & Carla Olson.
[2] His collaborations included co-writing "Still I Long For Your Kiss" with Wiliams, a song on her Grammy-winning album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.
He described his style as "country rock by way of the British Invasion" in a 1994 interview with The Oregonian, citing The Who, The Kinks, and The Rolling Stones as influences who themselves had borrowed much from roots music.
His mother was a nurse and his father was in the United States Coast Guard, and would often play country music records at home.
He died of colon cancer at age 51 on April 1, 2009, at his home in Marina del Rey, California.
