Any others?

 

[LITNIN HORN]

A plethora of Willie songs with Mickey Raphael.

 

[l00p]

The The - This Is The Day

Live Version: The Link

 

[BigWill]

a ton of Blues Bros. songs

But for my money "Midnight Rambler" is as good as any. Mick is very, very good.

and as good as "Thunder Road" is, "The River" is better.

 

[BigWill]

and who's the fat white guy...gun nut.

****. this is driving me crazy.

Edit. John Popper.

 

[TRRW#31]

I've always like Joe Satriani's The Extremist.

 

[YoLaDu]

"**** This ****" - Belle and Sebastian.

Yes, I am serious, give it a listen. It's not muddled up by too much other instrumentation or any vocals; and you can really hear the expressiveness of the instrument.

The Link


some random dude playing it under a bridge The Link

 

[Harri McDog Horn]

"Off Shore" by ?

 

[buckhorn]

The Wizard

 

[schnarkle]

Nobody's Fault but Mine - Led Zeppelin

 

[huisache]

ditto for FTS. I had never heard of Belle and Sebastian before but this is a very good example of how the range of the instrument can be a strength rather than a limitation.

And thanks for the Clint Black; I had forgotten how good a harmonica piece that is; handn't heard it in years.

 

[NB_LONGHORN]

Fingertips anyone?

Little Stevie Wonder

 

[Coelacanth]

Lots of Muddy Waters songs belong on this list, including "Mannish Boy" and "Hoochie Coochie Man".

Little Walter, probably the greatest harmonica player ever, is featured on several of his recordings.

 

[MirrOlure]

"Don't Call on Me" - The Band of Heathens (Live at Antone's version).


The Link

 

[accuratehorn]

Blowin' in the Wind, Tangled up in Blue, Mr. Tamborine Man, by Bob F'n Dylan.
And all the great Willie Nelson songs with Micky Raphael.

 

[LITNIN HORN]

Who is this Micky Raphael you speak of?

 

[accuratehorn]

OK, so it's MickEy Raphael...

 

[Pogo]

City Girls by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers

Just wanted to make sure you had things accurate...accurate.

I totally agree with your selections, but I would add Delbert McClinton.
