The string bass player on The Chix' TOP OF THE WORLD TOUR was the great Roscoe Beck, and his playing on Travelin' Soldier was just so excellent that I can't stop talking about it.
Every note was the right one, and each lick was accented and played to perfection.
If I wasn't a guitarist with over 40 years in the woodshed I'd be a string bass player.
What a sound.

Reading news articles today one finds that the military is paying $40,000 signup bonuses, plus loan payments, and college costs and all sorts of incentives to get these young kids to sign up to get their heads blown off. That is how they met their quotas for recruitment........knowing young folks mental state is such that they are 'invincible', and without an immediate future, that is lots and lots of money; they can be 'cautious' and come out of it ok......you know, $40,000 will get you a new/fairly new vehicle, some 'junk' to have in your base home, blah blah............they are invincible--til they don't hear the bullet, or see the bomber.
your post made me listen again. i love the dixie chicks. the lyrics and melody and vocals on this one is wonderful. i listened carefully to the string bass and it gave me goosebumps.
N.B. My folks talked me out of it, when I was of the age.
