Charlie McCoy and the Escorts was a prominent band during the 1960s, led by multi-instrumentalist Charlie McCoy. Known for their blend of country, blues, and rock & roll, their style was distinguished by McCoy's harmonica, which has been considered one of the signature instruments of country music. The band's influence is notable, particularly on the Nashville music scene, where McCoy became a sought-after session musician. His work with Bob Dylan, particularly on the album "Blonde on Blonde", solidified his reputation as a significant figure in music history.
