    I bought a couple last year just to play this...



    Didn't take long to be able to play something that sounded okay to me (I'm sure a real harmonica player would've told you my playing was awful). Need to get back to it...

    More Stevie Wonder.

    I don't know if this song will do well here, so just the harmonica solo is in the second link.

    stevie is probably the only harmonica player who when i hear them i immediately know who it is. nobody plays like him.

    whats crazy is that harmonica might be his 3rd or 4th best instrument.

    yall remember this...

    im currently reading keith richards autobiography and he talks a lot about the influence of little walter, t-bone walker, howlin wolf, jimmy reed. ive been listening to that stuff all week. lots of bad ass harmonica in there. he has high praise for micks harmonica skills too, which i agree with.



    i love (80's) U2, but is there a worse harmonica solo than bono in "desire"?
    start about 2:45

    A couple of my favorites were already taken, and when I think "harmonica", I think "the blues", but I don't know it well enough to comment much, so :




    And, of course, the greatest of them all :

    A lot of great choices above. This is a little obscure, but there is harmonica on every song...
