Charlie McCoy, Session Musician

Just thought it would be interesting to juxtapose these two songs as an example of what it means to be a skilled session musician. The lead guitar (played on acoustic) on Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" and the harmonica on George Jones's "He Stopped Loving Her Today" were both played by Charlie McCoy. Two more different instruments on two more different songs would be hard to imagine, but Charlie McCoy nails them both.
