Singer, song-writer and steel guitarist Cam Waters was found dead at his Minneapolis home this weekend. He was 51 years old.

The blues and folk musician may have been known best for being one-third of the jug-band-style group, the Sugar Kings. But, according to his website, Waters had been playing regularly in both solo shows, and with other musicians around the Twin Cities.

To talk more about Cam Waters and his music, MPR News contacted one of his musical friends, guitarist Dakota Dave Hull. He had been collaborating with Waters for more than 20 years.

And, Hull says, Water's quest for musical knowledge set him apart.
