The great Steve Guyger in action.

I think Steve is simply great. He has the biggest harp tone since Big Walter in my opinion.

If you don't own any of his CD's then you need to get some now! Every track on every CD is like a masterclass in how to play Chicago blues.

William Clarke once said that Steve Guyger was the best harp player he had ever heard! High praise indeed!

I could talk about how great he is all day, but I'll just let you hear for yourself.

I got to see a show from Gruenling's Little Walter tour and Steve was there and played about half the numbers that night. Man, did I go away a happy camper! My skin was literally tingling all night, just awestruck by what they were all creating there onstage 10 feet from me. Where are those fabled crossroads anyway.....

I knew of Steve Guyger, but hadn't heard him yet. Thanks Kingley - great post. Steve's CD's are now on my "must have" list.

Snakes, I would start with Past Life Blues, Last Train to Dover and LIve at The Dinosaur (with the great Steve Freund on guitar).

Mark, Man I bet that was a great show!

We had the pleasure of hosting a seminar with Mr's Guyger & Gruenling at our Harp Club. Great guys, learned loads and EVERYTHING reminds Steve of a story that he his happy to tell of his times with some of the greats in blues. He's the kinda guy you'ld love to sit around with on a very long late night playing acoustic harp and passing around a bottle.
