Charlie McCoy Biography
Every instrument used on Country records has one great player who set the standard for virtuosity. The guitar had Chet Atkins. Piano had Pig Robbins. Steel guitar had Pete Drake. And the great defining harmonica player of the Nashville recording industry is Charlie McCoy. Shortly after coming to Nashville in 1960, West Virginia-born Charlie McCoy cut a few singles as an artist. The records didn't do much, but his versatility in the studio brought him steady work. It wasn't hard to notice that Charlie McCoy was the best harmonica player around. Soon folks were hearing Charlie McCoy harmonica licks on records like Roy Orbison's "Candy Man" as well as the recordings of stars like Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, and Joan Baez. Do you, like many other folks, believe that "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the greatest Country song of all time? Charlie McCoy is all over that one. In the 1970s Charlie McCoy released a series of albums on Monument Records, won two Country Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year Awards, began a two decade term as the music director of Hee Haw and became a musical legend in Europe (and everyplace else).
