Music Reviews of Blues Masters, Vol. 16: More Harmonica Classics
Music Review: A Must for hamonicists and harmonophiles
Rating: 5 Stars
This power-packed CD is a must for both players and lovers of the harmonica, particularly of the blues-harp variety.Most all of the tunes here are listenable, but some mighty powerful stuff abounds. On Howlin' Wolf's number, he sounds as if he's playing 2 harps at once. Junior Wells, in his rendition of Sonny Boy Williamson II's "Help Me," does a moving tribute to Sonny II both vocally and harmonically (as Sonny II died shortly before this was recorded). Sonny I is well represented here with "Shake Your Boogie" (although his harmonica is drowned out by the other instruments in parts of this song).
The king of Country blues harmonica, Sonny Terry, does an amazing turn with "Hootin' Blues Pt. 2" which defies written description. Wisely, Magic Dick Seltzer's classing "Whammer Jammer" is also included, as it sounds as if this tune may have been inspired by the above-mentioned Sonny Terry tune (listen and compare).
So for anyone who likes good harmonica music, listen and enjoy. For aspiring harmonicists, you may have think you've got it down pat, but listen to this to see how far you still need to go.
Music Review: Blue's Masters Harmonica Classics
Rating: 3 Stars
I already had two other CD's in this collection which are also harmonica
blues. This was good, but sounded too much like the others. I also purchased the Blue's Master's slide guitar classics which is great.
