The inglehood Family
Charlie McCoy
Check out Charlie’s New Bossa Nova Record “Charlie Goes Brazil”
A member of the Country Music Hall Of Fame and The Musicians Hall Of Fame.
There are numerous super-session musicians in Nashville, but very few with the longevity of Charlie McCoy. He has recorded on recordings ranging from Simon and Garfunkel’s "The Boxer" to six Bob Dylan records .
Now we are lucky enough to release "A Shot In The Harp," featuring the music of Henry Mancini in our store and on iTunes.
On “A Shot In The Harp,” Charlie plays a collection of what we feel is a wide selection of Mancini's greatest pieces, including the songs Baby Elephant Walk and Moon River.
