From the mid-1970s until 1989 he gained distinction as a guitarist in Arhooly R&B Deluxe Band.

While in Arhooly, there were performances with prominent bluesmen including B.B. King, Bo Diddley, and Robert Cray.

2000

In the 2000s, he played rhythm guitar in Big Bill Morganfield's band, going on worldwide tours.

Morganfield is the son of Muddy Waters (aka McKinley Morganfield) often cited as the "father of modern Chicago blues."

As the band toured Europe, blues enthusiasts became increasingly interested in Morganfield.

Many were familiar with his father's seminal contributions to electric blues from his work on Chess Records.

It was said that the band's version of Waters' "Got My Mojo Working" stood up to the original.

Tours in Spain that Drake accompanied him on particularly enjoyed popularity due to the legacy connection to Waters.
