[Harp-L] Favorite 2004 CDs

["james conway" <harp3333@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Helllo and happy new year! Here's some CDs that I've enjoyed last year:

Steve Shaw's "Blowing Through the Reeds"

A nice variety of traditional Irish tunes played mostly on diatonics. Nice 
arrangements. Steve is a great harmonica enthusiast and has a great website.

Tony Eyer's "Black Mountain Harmonica"

A nice selection of traditional Irish and American fiddle tunes. Tony uses a 
unique tuning for his diatonics. Very lively, driving, punchy stuff.

Chris Michalek's "hey is for horses"

Amazing playing. Someday I hope to be able to manipulate the notes on my 
harp like this!

Jason Ricci's " Feel Good Funk"

My new harp hero! Meeting this guy recently and seeing him play has been 
very inspiring.

PT Gazell's "Pace Yourself"

A great CD! Some great bluegrass, ballads, and more. PT is currently blowing 
valved diatonics and he has amazing expressive and chromatic control on 
these things. Having heard a bit of his new stuff recently, I can't wait for 
his next CD!

cheers,
James
