Curly Chalker With Charlie McCoy.

Post by Archie Nicol »

I'd heard of this recording, but had never actually heard it. Nice.

I've forgotten how to do the `Click Here` thing. :-(

“Danny Boy” was cut in 1972 and was released on the LP "Charlie McCoy" Monument KZ-31910.

The other great Chalker/McCoy collaboration is “You Are the Sunshine of my Life” cut 1973 from "The Fastest Harp In The South" Monument KZ-32749.

These and all of Charlie's releases are available on CD from Charlie's website:

Sheer brilliance by Mr Chalker. I have loved this since I first heard the track back when it was first released in 1972.

The only other person I know who played this as intelligently as Curly, is Lloyd Green.

Something about what is created in their heads and then transcends to their hands evokes admiration.

That version by Curly and Charlie always brings a tear to my eye and gives me goose bumps at the same time. Just beautiful. I play it closer to his arrangement on the Counterpoint LP and need to learn this one. Interesting the different voicings Curly used in two different recordings. More of his genuine....

Thanks for posting! That's quite a moment for me when bass, drums and vibes kick in. At times the steel sounds like an orchestra.
