I'm trying to play along with this song. I start out with a Bb harp but I think it switches to another key. Can anyone help me?

If it is the version below, the song stays in F, so a Bb harp in 2nd position works for the whole song.
As to whether a different position on a different keyed harp was used for part of it, I didn't listen that closely. The song stayed in F, IMHO.

Haven’t checked it out for a while.
Most of the harp on that album is played by Kim Wilson and Carey Bell. Taj Mahal played on at least one track but I think maybe 2.
Actually, I have that one right here on the shelf. Let’s give it a spin.
Ok, right off the bat, that is Wilson on the harp and he is playing a Bb in F.
And yeah, if he is changing to a different key I don’t hear it. The 2 position Bb can do everything I am hearing there.
You know, there have been some occasions where I’ve been called out for being wrong. I’m fairly confident I’m right about this. I’d put a couple bucks on it.
