Last year someone shared an excellent video on Facebook with a great blues version of Don't Let the green Grass Fool You. Searching for it on You Tube has come up empty. I am looking to add this song to my book. Does anyone have a link to a video preferably with harp that they can share? BTW I did find a fantastic version by the California Honeydrops.

Lonesome, this is off Westside Andy's excellent CD "Blues Just Happen" (Harp players should have some Westside in their blues harp collection) beautiful player....

Thank you Harp2swing, after listening to this, I will be adding Andy to my collection. I may even catch a show in Indianapolis.

Sweet playing by Westside Andy! I liked the guitar playing, too, though I would have liked it more without the "wah" effect.

There is a version in iTunes performed by Billy Branch. Carl Weathersby does the vocals. It was recorded live at Buddy Guy's Legends.

Yeah Dough, agree, should have dropped the wah on the lead break. No wah on this one though, another fine instrumental from Andy, "Back roads".....
