First, I love this version, not more than the original, but I think it is super cool.
My question has to do with learning the explosive, fast notes Alan Wilson is playing at times. I can do this to some extent and am getting better with practice on this and other songs (Paul deLay's "Only Me" has some great examples). Other than keeping up a strong draw or blow and using your tongue to articulate, is there something else one does (or is that the wrong approach) to achieve this effect? And, assuming I am on the right track, does increased speed just come with practice and time? Thanks.

I think that actually, these "effects" come from the throat, same process as for a deep vibrato; the tongue doesn't seem to interfere.

the articulated ones sound like tongue slaps or rapid breath bursts (1:43), the warble one (1:52) more like vibrato with a tight mic cup

Wow the Tritone. I played on that stage with Rick Ianacone.
I think Charlie Musselwhite plays the lick part in third position and solos in second.

cool song- yea from what I can tell its all throat as well however I do think you could do this by tounge technique if you hit the roof of your mouth while playing and to not tongue the actual harmonica
