Olivier Ker Ourio, Jimmie Riddle (with  Roy Acuff), Sonny Boy Williamson, Hugo  
Diaz, Big Walter Horton, Mark  Graham, Eric Chafer, Robert Lee McCoy (with Lee 
Brown), Magic Dick &  Sonny Terry....you know this is a "something else" kind 
of  album. >>

To me, Inspiration is undoubtedly the compilation that most represents the harmonica as an instrument, irrespective of eras or genres. Inspiration 2 is also great and done much in the same spirit. I'm not sure it's distributed in the US, but you can find the track listing on my blog here : http://harmonica.typepad.com/harmonica_ramblings/2005/04/more_inspiratio.html
