Harmonica player Charlie McCoy was one of those ubiquitous Nashville session players whose name seems to pop up on practically every country album recorded in the 1970s... McCoy also had a fruitful solo career, particularly during the countrypolitan era when he scored a #1 hit single and chart-topping album that briefly put him at the top of the Nashville food chain. Here's a quick look at his work...
