[Harp-L] Re: another great BLUES harmonica player worthy of wider recognition
Go to the YouTube link below to see The Rhythm Four do LW's "Don't Have To
Hurt No More" (which they mis-label as "hunt"). GREAT stuff. Love the boogie
feel and how they take a 3 minute song and stretch it to 6 1/2 minutes with
some cool harp riffs. But what is most impressive to me is the guitar
player. At about the two minute mark the camera shifts over so you can see him.
This guy has done his homework because if you close yours eyes you swear it is
Louis and David Meyers circa mid-50s. He plays mostly the bass line with
the occasional cord riff. Just perfect. This should be mandatory viewing for
all guitars players who want to play ANY LW number. Every time I try to play
those delicate LW lines at a jam (Juke, Off The Wall) I have a guitar player
on either side of me and they are just strumming (loudly!) their butts off.
This group has another 1/2 dozen clips on YouTube including LW's Tell Me
Mama and Quarter to Twelve and they are all good.
