Review
For Out on a Limb, McCoy enlisted the diverse talents of the well-regarded European touring unit the United, the Jordanaires, and Nashville session kings like Bobby Ogdin, Russ Hicks and Pig Robbins to tackle chestnuts like "You Don't Know Me" and Leon Payne's "You've Still Got a Place in My Heart." ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi| Out on a Limb (1964 Album by Moms Mabley) | |
