This is a fascinating clip. It starts with solo harp through the PA--and exceptionally nice tone from Billy. Very much in the James Cotton tradition. No amp needed!

Then the orchestra comes alive and at first it seems that Billy has no role. But then he's in there, and the harp is absolutely part of what's going on. Interesting, adventurous stuff:

Watching this video was creepier than "Silence of the lambs"

The list of blues harmonica players that could have pulled this off is very short. Very nicely done and great to see this blend.

It shows there is so much more out there for harp

I like this! It brings me back to the old spaghetti westerns. I believe the theme song from the "Good, the Bad and the Ugly." had harp. It has both a blues and western flavor.
