A question for anyone: I was going through some old LPs to create 
various favs compilations and came across something I used to wear 
out from repeated listenings: Jimmy Rogers "Gold Tailed Bird" 
(Shelter SW-8921). There's some nice harp on six of the twelve cuts - 
Gold Tailed Bird being a real standout, but the player isn't 
credited. We're talking great personnel - Louis and Dave Meyers, 
Freddie King, Fred Below, Bob Reid.  Does anyone know who the harp 
player is? He's definitely "James Cotton" influenced. I was 
thinking...maybe Billy Branch? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jim,
According to allmusic.com, Jimmy played harp himself on the Shelter 
recording of Gold Tailed Bird.  See:
