It seems to be a common thought that blues is primitive music and perfomers
should "graduate" into other genres like jazz, soul or rock. It is of course
every musician's prerogative to play or sing the music they want to
Case in point, Mitch Kashmar. He released a couple of excellent blues albums
and then started touring with War, supposedly upgrading to funk Luckily
though he came back to his roots and released Live At Labatt which was one
of the top blues harp albums of 2008.
Nevertheless, I wish the best of success to the original poster. There are
harmonica musicians around to satisfy every taste. Having said that, blues
is the genre where harp plays the most important role.
