Here is another view (probably non-harp player/musician view) of that track:

Let Shelby be Shelby, April 11, 2000

Reviewer: Suzanne (Langhorne, PA) - See all my reviews

I have never been a fan of country music, thus I had never heard of Shelby 
Lynne. If it weren't for public radio I would never had been introduced to 
this talented, singer-songwriter. I bought the CD expecting to hear 
something different and I was far from disappointed. Many of her older fans 
feel betrayed by her alteration, they should be happy she decided to break 
free of the factory sounding country that Faith, Trisha, and Shania can give 
them in spades. This is not the best CD I own, I do wish she had a backing 
band, instead she and her producer did all of the instruments and vocals.
    Bill Bottrell also tried too many production tricks, at times the 
vocals were drowned out and the harmonica solo on track 5 could have been 
left out.
But the lyrics are wonderfully emotive and she really shows a talent for 
songwriting

    Some of the stronger tracks are "Gotta Get Back" sans harmonica solo,
"Life Is Bad," and "Where I'm From." I found, as did other reviewers, that 
the more I listened to "I Am, " the more I HAD to listen to it. Shelby is 
playing in my town tonight and I hope to catch this unique artist and see 
what she can do with a genuine backing band.

Bill Bottrell is a very well-known California producer who, among other
things, was a founder of the Tuesday Night Music Club that launched Crow.

The harp solo is simple and tasty country-style playing, although he chokes
both of the bends he tries. Sounds like Van Morrison on INTO THE MUSIC.
