Soldier's Things and Cinny's Waltz, on Holly's same album, Temptation, also have some beautiful work by Levy, but unfortunately I couldn't find either of those on YT,

Say, that rocks thanks for sharing I hadn't heard this before! Is this the only album she did with Levy? Guess I answered my own question, looks like he's on another one as well.

On my first listen, with harp bias, I wanted to hear a subtle Charlie McCoy take on this. It sounded much better the second time as a whole. Levy is certainly a master.

I like how he embraces the tone of the harmonica, and is comfortable with the harsher sounds it can make even in a smooth song

@Ryan: Levy also appears on Cole's 1993 "Don't Smoke in Bed".
Holly Cole is a brilliant vocal stylist! I played these two albums a lot back in the late 90s, but had not listened to either for a few years. After a few years learning harp, when I put on "Temptation" the other day and heard Levy's harmonica part responding to the vocal and then soloing, it was like listening for the first time.
