Nashville Skyline. Charlie McCoy and Norman Blake. What a treasure. Yes Bob went to Nashville but after the Byrds.

Great interview with a great man! God Bless you both!

As a West Virginia native, when I think of Charlie’s career, the only other human I can compare it to is another West Virginian, Chuck Yeager. With Charlie as a musician and Yeager as a pilot, if you read a description of both men’s lives and accomplishments in a fictional novel, you would throw the books away as unbelievable. The fact both men really led these amazing lives is magical. To this day, I defy anyone to find an accompanying guitar part better than Charlie’s Guitar on Bob Dylan’s Desolation Row-something he basically did off the cuff. For most mortals it would secure your place in the history books; for Charlie, it was a mere fraction of his iconic work-incredible musician!!!
Yes, I agree @dbob3405 - thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
