I'm slowly working my way through some solo harp lessons and would like to hear anyone's recommendations on good solo harp tracks, particularly ones that follow the 12 bar blues structure so I can fit ideas into what I'm already learning.

I expect you've seen Adam's Front Porch Blues video. That's the sort of thing I aspire to but there is not a great deal of it about. At least not that I can find.

Aside from seconding tooka's suggestion, I'd advise you to get some of the really old stuff. There's an album on iTunes you can download for the price of a couple of beers called 'Harmonica Blues'. To modern ears, it might sound dated, but much of it is foundational solo harp playing.
Also, our very own resident dude, waltertore, has some very tasty solo stuff on his YouTube channel.

Jerry Portnoy does a 3 cd masterclass set but dont be put off by the 'masterclass' tag, it is very approachable for any level player and at the end there are lots of great jam tracks.
