I'm sure most folks here knew Huey Lewis plays harmonica but I didn't know he played that good.

I always liked Huey Lewis... "Bad is Bad" has always been a favorite song. He always has a harp when guesting on talk shows... I think he loves Key of D harps !

I love this little ditty he played on the Rachel Ray show several months ago... I stole it and embelished it...

dave edmunds has a version of Bad is Bad on an old album.(repeat when necessary?) huey plays harp only on it.
it's faster and i like it better than the hit version.

no, just that one. i think it's the last song on the record?
it's a galloping shuffle and huey is nasty,sparse, and very effective. he does a hip opening turnaround, a hip solo, and cool vamping at the end to finish it off. of course he wrote the song, not edmunds.
