Re: [Harp-L] harmonica side man chosen for blues project

I had the pleasure to hear Eric and Grant in Charleston,WV when they did a 
performance for Mountain Stage,NPR.

I am a fan of Eric Bibb. I "discovered" him while learning "Going Down Slow" 
via Youtube. His version was the best I found.

Eric Bibb is an afro-american blues man who was given Bukka White's guitar 
to use in a recording project celebrating his style/music.

Eric recorded a project called, I believe, "Stories from Bukka's Guitar", or 
something like that. He didn't want to copy the old songs exactly, but 
wanted to use a harmonica to simulate the slide guitar. He chose Grant 
Dermody for this project. I heard a sample or two on NPR and it sounded 
great.

Also, John Mayer is a great guitar singer/songwriter/musician talent. I just 
was turned on to his music on a show called "Live from Abbey Road", watching 
his band work out in the studio - Great rhythm section. John is a fantastic 
guitar player when he cuts loose.
