Coca Cola Cowboy tab out there?

[Walter Bowden]

Does anyone have a tab of Coca Cola Cowboy? I would gladly make a contribution to the forum for a copy and be very grateful. Thanks.

[Dick Sexton]

Used to play it, the intro. What key? Email me, I'll shoot you a copy. DS

[Alan Rudd]

I think the original key is E. I'd like to check that one out too if you don't mind. Thanks.

[Loren Depping]

Wow, Dick! Thanks so much for posting this! I've been searching for it, too.

[Dick Sexton]

Loren, that was a while ago. Worked it up because I didn't have a guitar player that did it at the time. Glad you found and are going to be able to use it.
Dick Sexton...

[Quentin Hickey]

Thanks for poeting this one Dick, I'm going to learn this intro. I love the song.
Quentin

[Quentin Hickey]

Who did the steel work for this song anyways?

[Dick Sexton]

Quentin, I'm not sure who the steeler was on the session, but love it...

Listen to how "lead instrument silence" is used from 1:20 to 1:37 in that link. Real country... And how prominent the steel sounds when it sneaks back in. It is more then learning to play, also learning when it is "right" not to play. I have always like this song, may have to start singing it myself.

[Quentin Hickey]

Agreed Dick, when country was country! Steel had a more prominant place in the line up. I find nowadays that tracks can get too busy when they should be backing off. Another good example is here

From 1:20 to about 1:40 with the only interuption is when somebody either trips over or kicks an amp that has the reverb cranked up at about 1:22

[Joachim Kettner]

It's not 100 percent clear, but it could have been Jaydee Maness. I think he's over the whole soundtrack, which "Coca Cola Cowboy" is a part of.

If it's the Mel Tillis cut it sounds like Buddy Emmons.

[Dana Blodgett]

Thanks Dick
