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.
Much of the emotion this song elicits is the playing of Roscoe Beck.
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.
