They can be seen playing with either one of two excellent drummers occupying the throne, depending on everyone's schedules and other variables, such as Acts of God. So when Joe is playing out, Jerry's awesome chops are made unavailable to his fellow coots. Not to worry, though, because the drummer who shares the stickhandling chores is Phil Neighbors , another heavy duty rhythm ace. Here Phil Neighbors puts the kit through its paces.

Picture Felix Pappalardi from Mountain , or Cream 's Jack Bruce , hopped up on Jaegermeister and playing country swing, and you get close to an accurate picture of what goes on here. When he is not rocking up the Coots repertoire Bill can be seen playing with popular G Love and Special Sauce . Jim side-mouthing a tune. Last but certainly not least is Evan Harriman on keyboards. Performing anything akin to Western Swing without guitar is a rough road to hoe, but Evan rises to the challenge.
