Since so many of us have suddenly found ourselves with lots of practicing time at home, I decided to make downloads of the backing tracks to two of my CDs available for free so you can play along if you like:
Cohen Goin' Country , and
Finally Here .
And, you can also download those two entire steel guitar albums for free as well, if you wish, if you want to hear how I played those songs (12 and 20 years ago!)
The free downloads are available at
www.jimcohen.com/music (you'll need to scroll down to the 2nd row of albums to see them)
Note that you'll need to download the whole (free) album, not individual tracks. After downloading the whole album, feel free to delete any tracks you don't want.
Stay safe, wash your hands, and go practice!
