masoleumrent Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 'Hurricane' by Bob Dylan springs to mind.....most bob dylan stuff has a harmonica somewhere.....'Cardiff Afterlife' by the manic street preachers, 'a new career in a new town' by David Bowie - there's loads!

OLD 55 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hi Nan. Here's a few. Also, if you do a Search here on Songfacts they have some listed too. Please let me know if these are what you're after (genre and era). Daydream / Lovin Spoonful /(John Sebastian) Leave A Tender Moment Alone; Piano Man / Billy Joel There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart / Eurythmics / (Stevie Wonder guests on harmonica). Not Fade Away / Rolling Stones / (Mick Jagger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenYearsGone Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 NAN, ever hear of the Blues? If you don't like blues music or will never listen to it then you will never hear the greatest harmonica the world has ever produced. Try this blues harmonica site. If you prefer 60's - 70's blues rock the check out: The J. Geils Band, specifically the song "Whammer Jammer", amazing. Or John Mayall's groundbreaking "Room To Move". It doesn't get much better than those two. The Fabulous Thunderbirds utilize a lot of harmonica which is also very good for white boy Kim Wilson from SoCal. If you prefer only music styles from the last 10-15 years, well then you should probably give up your pursuit on great harmonica and instead for look "great screaming" or maybe "worlds best lip-synchors."

windy1 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 well I was gonna reply but everyone kind of beat me to it. I don't know what particular kind of music you like, but if you like blues, the harmonica is the most expressive insrtument in the band. really any type music, but blues shows just how expressive the harmonica can be as far as conveying feelings. just a random thought.

Aunt_Acid Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Bob Dylan sucks at harmonica. It got old after a while, too. I think Roger Daltry played a harmonica at the end of Baba O' Reily when they performed it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Not for the sake of bumping this thread, but to actually add to it. I picked up The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and they use a lot of harmonica. Almost every song has the harmonica in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Aaron, it's hard to find many fans of the Daredevils, that actually think enough of them to mention them concerning anything. I happen to love them, as do a lot of us around here(Mo). They are sort of local heros, actually from down around Springfield. I can think of many,many nights,standing around a bonfire(I was like 18)and playing Chicken Train over and over. 10 or 15 of us all chicken dancin, and bwaaakin like mad! some of my best times. Talk about harmonica! "Chicken train, take the chickens away..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Robert Plant makes an interesting effort in LZ's "You Shook Me". Listen to any James Cotton record for nice blues stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have more of a mountain country appeal as opposed to a country rock or western country appeal. I would love to see them play in concert.

Uncle Joe Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Gabby Hayes played one mean moniker. Then there were the Adler Bros. Lots of comedy involved, too. The Vagabonds used harmonica in some of their songs. Who first called it a "mouth organ"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
