While this strains the notion of traditional Blues somewhat, find a copy of
Norton Buffalo and Roy Rogers (Not the guy with the horse and the wife in
the west) doing "Mercury Blues", an obvious derivative/spin-off of Crazy
'Bout a Mercury.
In the middle of the song, Norton switches from diatonic to chromatic and
all I can say is... What a switch!!

Subject: [Harp-L] Best chromatic blues songs...

Hey,? I love blues music with harmonica in it....and I really LOVE to hear
blues music played with chromatic.? I think it's a monster of a blues
instrument and underused.....being you don't?see a whole?lot of people
playing them.? I'm aware and have listened to a lot of George Smith, William
Clarke,?Little Walter, and some of Kim Wilson (not?much)?on the chromatic.?
I'd like to hear other suggestions for great players in the blues field to
listen to.....whether it be in the 3rd position type playing, first, etc.?
Thanks, John _______________________________________________
