Charlie McCoy has appeared on thousands of
country, pop, and rock recordings. A member of the Country Music
Hall of Fame, the Musicians Hall of Fame, and the West Virginia
Music Hall of Fame, McCoy also led the famous “Million-Dollar Band”

decades.

McCoy’s recollections and insights offer a new and fascinating perspective on the development and expansion of the country music industry.” - Rich Kienzle, author of The Grand Tour: The Life and Music of George Jones
