I can play this in second position on an A harp and hit all of the notes by adding a 5 overblow, but it sounds like there scoops on what would be the 5 blow that I cannot do. It's almost sounds like these are draw notes which just confuses me as to what harp is being used. If you want, skip to about 1:13.

I don't have my harps at hand, but my very quick impression is that the player is switching harps. The chord progression goes from E to A to B. (I to IV to V, pretty typical.) I believe the harp player uses three harps: A on the E chord, D on the A chord, and E on the B chord. Roughly the same scooped 3 draw to 4 draw lick in each case.
E A Well I work a double shift at the plant and I work on the outside E B And I'd a lot rather be home makin' love to my new bride A E C#m And there's only 2 things I want when I'm back in my double wide A E And that's a big ole brew and little ole you
E A Now I know you're workin' every day just as hard as I do E B And if I didn't think that I might've loved you, I wouldn've have said "I do" A E C#m And there's only 2 things in the world that I need to get close to A E and that's a big ole brew and little ole you
A Well I got both ends meetin' in the middle
But I can't seem to get 'em tied E B I don't care, long as I know you'll be by my side
(instrumental) E A C#m B E A C#m B
A Well I got both ends meetin' in the middle
But I can't seem to get 'em tied E B I don't care, long as I know you'll be by my side
E A Well, I ain't gonna work this hard every day of my lifetime E B One of these days, everything that I want gonna be mine A E C#m But if it ain't that'll be all right as long as there's sunshine A E And a big ole brew and little ole you A E I'll take a big ole brew and lïttle ol' you
I tried to jam along on this one. To my ears it sounds like he's switching cleverly between an A and D harp on the studio cut, and between a Bb and a Eb harp on the live video. Likely so he can get juicy inhale bends on the riff in cross harp. Draw 3 instead of blow 5?
(I think that's right?—edited after I listened again)
But then again it's PT Gazelle who is a friggin genius so who knows what he's really doing....sounds great.
