Re: [Harp-L] Country Western harmonica players

At last year's CMA awards, George Strait did a vocal duo with another male singer (don't remember who; someone equally big) that had harmonica prominently featured, played by a band member (not named in the broadcast unless in the rolling credits), not one of the singers. The harmonica player did not play "licks", however. Rather, he laid down long chords, with some kind of processed effect (Leslie/phase? I no longer remember).

Dear Harp-l

After watching the CMA awards recently, I was disappointed that there were no
harmonica 
players at all.  At least I didn't see any.  Most of the recent country
releases I have heard do 
not have any harmonica on them either.  There is still plenty of violin, steel,
guitar and the 
rest of the traditional instruments found in CW music.  

Does anyone know who, if any, new or current harmonica players are coming out
of 
Nashville?  Who IS playing on any new releases out there.  I hear plenty of new
blues players 
out there but no C&W.  Any names?

regards,
Roger Gonzales
