In 1970, he moved to L.A. to work in the record industry, and got his start working with the Cowsills and later as a backing guitar for the Everly Brothers. Some of the greats Waddy worked with include Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Randy Newman, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, among others), turning the guitar virtuoso into a household name – a rare feat for a sideman, not there for the spot light, but there for the "zip."
