Albert Lee did this for Emmylou Harris on Luxury Liner. And I believe other assorted tunes in her/his career but that's the one that springs to mind.

He did the same for Dave Edmunds on “Sweet Little Lisa,” as can be seen here

Believe Billy Bremner is in there too and maybe Terry Williams. Somebody also said Graham Parker who I didn’t notice the first time through.

Who is the guy playing the guitar on Elvis Costello's Allison? Because he never lets up.

John McFee, who joined the Doobie Brothers not long afterward lol.

Was just about to post "Allison" as well. That one's a great example.
