I am a beginner looking for songs like Mannish Boy and Low Rider that just have one frequently repeated harp riff, preferably nothing too acrobatic. I'm sure there are several obvious ones, right?

not exactly 1 riff, but 'shake your hips' is quite repetitive...2 riffs and a break made up repeated riffs
there's a version on Billy Boy's 'back where i belong' which might suit. just off the top...

There's also "Smokestack Lightning" and "How Many More Years (the one-riff version, not the 12-bar progression) by Howlin' Wolf.

Thanks, guys. The conversation not long ago about Howlin' Wolf might have been a hint that I might find some simple but great stuff there.
