Favourite Harmonica Song.

[Jonny Come Lately]

I agree, I like Running To Stand Still a lot as well - the harmonica at the end caps off the song perfectly. I think I listed Trip Through Your Wires first though as it's a more unusual use of harmonica, at least compared to most songs featuring the instrument I've heard - it's rare for an anthemic rock song to prominently use harmonica, whereas Running To Stand Still is closer to a folk-style song, where its use is more commonplace.

I think Norton Buffalo was a great Harp blower, here with Roy Rogers.

Neil Young - Heart of Gold

 

[the ferret]

Evening by Lindisfarne, from the album The News. Ray Jackson is the best harmonica player I've ever seen by quite some considerable distance.

 

[Johnny-Too-Good]

There's a whole bunch of them from Dylan. Everybody raves about Jimi's version of 'All Along The Watchtower', but I much prefer Dylan's original, which paints a dark, haunting uncertain picture.

What's yours?

Mine is School by Supertramp.

This might be a record - quoting a post from 3 years ago . I'm a huge Supertramp fan and that is my favourite track.

The Wizard by Black Sabbath is memorable.

Magic Dick with J. Geils was a good musician.

Yep....
