Billy Branch plays "Hoodoo Man Blues" with the Chicago Blues Living History Band in Bourgogne, France, summer 2012.

I post this clip because Billy is using an Electrovoice RE-10 mic through a Fender Twin Reverb and then through the PA, and a Suzuki Manji harp. I can't tell what kind of mic is taking the sound from the amp to the PA, but it looks like a standard Shure stage mic. I think that his tone is excellent, just enough growl and dirt so as not to sound too thin.

Billy Branch - harmonica and vocals
Billy Flynn - guitar
Felton Crews - bass
Johnny Iguana - keyboards
Kenny "Beedy Eyes" Smith - drums

It's a Super Reverb, not a Twin, nice nod to Carey Bell in there too :-)

Sorry about that. When I edited I must have deleted the clip. Thanks.

Great accents, sharp and to the point...The tempo is a lot faster than than the original but works with his crisp style. You can see the Carey Bell (chicago influence). Love it! thanks.
