Southside Johnny - harmonica

 

Ashley MacIsaac, fiddle.

 

As I'm listening to some Jack's Mannequin right now, I'd have to agree.

 

Uh, well...

Little Walter
Sonny Boy Williamson (s) I and II.
Paul Butterfield.
Charlie Musselwhite.
James Cotton.

 

Sure pick on my answer and not this one on page 1:

But you're right, I forgot a bunch of great blues harmonica players.

 

I've seen him in concert three times, and he really does get better every time. Listen to Something Corporate's Konstantine. It's very impressive.

And Little Walter for Harmonica

 

Steve Winwood often plays all the instruments on an album.

 

Heloise Williams, former frontwoman for Viper House.

 

Damn, Alanis! What a dummy I am.
I'd even eliminate the old blues guys and keep, say, Butterfield, because he crossed over the same way Clapton did on the guitar.
Glad to see Sancious get mentioned, though. I think he's the only real loss from the original E-streeters.

 

Agreed, I wish Something Corporate would come out with another album, I prefer their stuff over JM.

 

I'll nominate Rick Wakeman on keyboards.

Ian Anderson on the flute.

And on harmonica, Dylan and Paul Simon.
