Blues Masters - v04 - Harmonica Classics
Audio CD (November 10, 1992)
Original Release Date: November 10, 1992
Label: Rhino / Wea
Bitrate: 128 kbps

Rhino\'s \"Blues Masters\" series is the best of its kind, and while this one disc obviously only scratches the surface of blues harmonica playing, it does feature a lot of good music.

Most longtime blues fans will own the lion\'s share of this material already, but \"Harmonica Classics\" also features several lesser-known songs like Lazy Lester\'s superbly groovy \"Sugar Coated Love\", \"Boogie Twist\" by Snooky Pryor, and \"Easy\" by the greatest blues harmonica player of them all, the great Walter Horton (that\'s the song credited to \"Jimmy and Walter\").

Billy Boy Arnold is here, and Jimmy Reed is here, doing the loping \"Ends And Odds\" in his lazy, minimalistic style. Other highlights include Junior Wells\' tough \"Messin\' With The Kid\" and Sonny Boy Williamson (II)\'s \"Help Me\".

These songs don\'t necessarily rank among the artists\' very best, since they were chosen primarily for the harp playing, and that may be seen as a little bit of a drawback. But that\'s not to say that these songs are generally below par, however, and this collection does focus on blues harmonica after all. And there is some impressive instrumental prowess on display here, including the Fabulous Thunderbirds\' lyrical \"Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White\", \"Last Night\" by George \"Harmonica\" Smith, and the one-armed John Wrencher\'s rendition \"Take A Little Walk With Me\".

As I said, this is not excactly the defintive word on blues harmonica, or on the artists represented here, but \"Harmonica Classics\" and its companion volume (excitingly titled \"More Harmonica Classics\") are still a fine purchase for casual and \"mid-level\" blues listeners. Lots of great music here. ~ Docendo Discimus
