Looking at some vids on Youtube I found this version by Keb' Mo with a harp in a rack and a reso.

I liked the singing and the guitar. The harmonica didn't do it for me though.

He's a great guitar player and singer. I was suprised to see him play harp.

He's just about my favorite contemporary blues songwriter and one of my favorite singers, but his harp doesn't do much for me.

Very cool! He has played harp since I ever knew about him--usually just a few notes here and there to punctuate, then maybe a very short solo. This is the longest solo I've heard him do on harp.

No, he isn't a great harper--by his own admission, he isn't really even a great slide guitar player--but the overall performance just plain kicks ass--he knows how to put the magic in there--at least to my ears. . .

Right on oldwailer! He doesn't claim to be a virtuoso at anything. I keep hearing that simple is great...well..here is simple at its finest. The foot tap, vocals, harp, and slide all combine for fine overall performance. He has the "feel"..
