Re: [Harp-L] Jackson (Nancy Sinatra / Lee Hazlewood)



All music guide gives it as Charlie Mccoy. No reason to doubt that, I think. Frankly, this was in ´66 or ´67 and I seriously doubt that a John Sebastian of that time would have nailed it.
  Also, stylistically it seems very much Charlie McCoy. Were theres other diatonic players around at that time who sounded like this?

Sounds like Charlie McCoy to me...

While the licks sound like Charlie McCoy, the way of bending Draw 4 puts me in mind of John Sebastian, who did a fair amount of recording work during this period backing singers like Tim Hardin.

First question: What city was the record made in? I'm guessing LA but maybe not. Charlie worked mainly out of Nashville, Sebastian might have been new York based at that time but probably quite mobile as he was touring with Lovin' Spoonful. Could it have ben an LA-based session guy?

Why isn't there a comprehensive Nancy Sinatra or Lee Lazelwood discography on the web? 

(Note: Lee Hazlewood produced Dean's Martin's mid-1960s hit "Houston," which also featured some bluesy harp. Years ago someone on harp-l was able to put a name to the player.)
