The Leathercoated Minds has been played on NTS shows including Mikey Young, with Arriba first played on 3 April 2023.

In 1967 J.J. Cale collaborated with his old Okie friend Roger Tillison on a psychedelic album "Trip Down Sunset Strip" as The Leathercoated Minds. They covered the popular drug-culture hits of the 60's, such as "Eight Miles High", "Puff (the Magic Dragon)", and "Sunshine Superman". J.J. threw in several instrumentals which he had written and not put lyrics to on singles prior to this album. The "Unofficial Roger Tillison" page mentions Terraye Tillison on vocals, Bill Boatman arranger, Leon Russell on keyboards, Jimmy Karstein on drums, "and others".
