I don't think we've discussed this before.
Linda always has the best bands/orchestras behind her, and there are many, many great instrumental moments in her songs.
To get us started, I'll say that I agree with Linda that Korchmar did a fabulous job with his keening electric guitar solo on "Hurts So Bad." It really adds a sizzle to an already hot song.
Also, Plas Johnson's sax on "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance" is absolutely gorgeous and sets the blue mood of the song.

I recall something like this long ago, but it certainly is a fun topic.. thinking out loud:
- The electric guitar intro to 'Look Out for My Love'.. melodic and rocking..
- David Sanborn's sax in 'Ooh, Baby Baby'
- Rocking guitar coda in 'How Do I Make You'
- Guitar jam in the live version of 'You're No Good'
- Piano intro to 'Someone to Lay Down Beside Me'
- Instrumental fade out to 'Tom Thumb's Blues'... just for starterss

You gotta love Dan Dugmore's magic steel on Try Me Again. So awesome. I know Trisha Yearwood looked him up to play it again on her version. Also, the piano and steel on I Will Always Love You makes that a great country rock version of a Dolly classic.

This is my favorite. Move the video cursor to 59 seconds into the video and let it go to about 1:17 to its climactic end. I am thinking it is Andrew Gold's handiwork. What a great musician he was.

Some favorites in this area:
Blue Bayou--loping bass intro
Break My Mind--great C&W/rock stringbender guitar break by the ultra-legendary Clarence White
All That You Dream--Dan Dugmore's synthesizer-sounding steel break
A River For Him--glass armonica and synthesizer opening
Walk On--electric guitar breaks in middle

How about the intro to this great song:
or the yearning intro to this one:
and the etheric intros to these two classics:
Just so many great ones!

I also love the tumbling bass on "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance" right after she sings "if you'd surrender for a tender kiss or two."
And, yes, the harmonica on "Skylark."
Did I mention the fiddle break on "You Tell Me that I'm Falling Down"?

Many people don't know or realize that Linda had to put out a pretty penny to hire the best musicians to accompany her not just because she was a perfectionist but she knew these songs would be her legacy. What a smart chick she was and still is for that matter.

Another one:
The extended instrumental break on the Live In Hollywood version of "You're No Good" with some Latin flavoring (the "cha-cha-cha" riffs).
