belfast_harper 350 posts Mar 09, 2013 3:01 PM	I have a few recommendations, although they might not be classic recordings Sonny Terry - Harmonica Vocal Recordings(9 tracks) Bye Bye Bird - Sonny Boy Williamson Getting out of Town - Rick Estrin Forrest City Joe - Train Time & Levee Camp Reminiscence Lots of stuff by Peg Leg Sam John Mayall has some stuff, The song Another Man Down comes to mind. Jack O' Diamonds - Percy Randolph Lots of good stuff on the Harmonica Rarities double CD There is some cool stuff on this youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/DeltaKittyCat?feature=watch Or you could just check out this guy for inspiration and do your own thing. http://www.youtube.com/user/StatusJassco/videos?view=0 Last Edited by belfast_harper on Mar 09, 2013 3:02 PM

tbang 48 posts Mar 10, 2013 10:51 AM	I really like John Nemeth's version of Hoodoo Man And also this:

Joe Strouzer 7 posts Mar 10, 2013 3:32 PM	There is a great song by Neal Pattman called Prison Blues if you can find it. I believe you can find the solo version of it on his album of the same title, well worth checking out. the only version on youtube is not just vocal and harp but maybe it will inspire you to check out his work. ---------- ---------------------- www.josephstrouzer.com
kudzurunner 3972 posts Mar 10, 2013 4:57 PM	I found Sugar Blue's "Another Man Done Gone" on YouTube and added to my earlier post. If you've never heard this particular cut, played on the big low Marine Band, you need to. Instant replay!
