Keith Richards and James Cotton
There is just something amazing about watching two old masters ply their craft. Keith Richards is playing some drippin’ sweet slide guitar and James Cotton is behind him with the kind of soul they only taught in the old school.

Kim Wilson on the Harp
Seems today’s theme was becoming videos of backup harp players. Well, I guess I’m going to kind of break that theme here. Although I first came across Kim Wilson as a featured artist on a Snuff Johnson album, I found

…And Jamie Bassett on the Harp
So tonight I came across a great little blues solo by someone on whom I can find no additional information except that he may or may not have played in a band called Texas Storm. Regardless of his mysterious past,

Black Widow Blues
Today a friend introduced me to Townes Van Zandt, a musician who isn’t, himself, a harmonica player but who has kick-ass music and a wicked harmonica accompanist. I don’t know who is blowing harp on Van Zandt’s Black Widow Blues,

Phillip Henry’s Beatbox Stylings
I’ve seen several variations on beatboxing a harp, with varying degrees of success. But today I discovered a new beatboxer out there who is playing some downright nice music! Meet Phillip Henry, of Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin. He has

Shawn Irwin and His Virtuosic Chops
In all of my YouTube browsing, I’ve often seen a related video pop up titled “The Best Harmonica Player in the World” which, until today, I never bothered clicking. How could I pass it up, you ask? Not sure… but

Huey Lewis Rocks a Two Step Jam

Christelle Burthon Rocking a Busker’s Mic
I’m a big fan of Christelle Burthon and have featured her on Harmonica Love Affair before, but today I’ve discovered a new video of her that I instantly fell in love with. It seems she was walking through Sydney and

Adam Gussow Jamming on the Street
There are so many different ways to admire Adam Gussow that it’s almost difficult to write about him. He began as a busker, traveled the world playing jazz and blues festivals, recorded multiple award winning blues albums, became a teacher

Can’t Get Enough John Popper Today!
Okay, maybe four posts featuring John Popper in one day may be getting a bit much, but it’s a boundary I’m willing to push. This is an awesome video of Popper playing the New Orleans House of Blues with Dan
