John Nemeth is a superb singer, though to my ears a better soul singer - for some reason when he sings blues he sometimes puts on an affected-sounding voice While he was no virtuoso on harp, James Hunter (as Howlin' Wilf) certainly had the voice Tad Robinson is a great vocalist and a very good if all-too-occasional harp player. And this is an amazing performance from Curtis Salgado Last Edited by on Jul 11, 2011 12:41 PM
