I bought the Bacon Fat Album in like 1969 or 70,...I can't remember now,.....it was such "cool" group. I still have it,...the tunes are all on You Tube,....which is great. I was just beginning high school at the time, and I was learning how to play blues harp, too. I was buying all the albums that featured great harmonica playing I could get my hands on. Usually at a used record shop,...Blues wasn't as popular as it became among the younger generations. My friends were all into 1970s Rock & Roll,....So strictly blues albums were less popular. That meant when you found them used, they were in excellent condition, as they had practically no wear, & no scratches.
Same here - my intro to Rod Piazza happened in the mid-80's when I picked up an album for about $1.75 at a Tower Records clearance sale. I have over a dozen of his albums (ie CDs) and collections now. One of my all time favorites, have seen him and his Mighty Flyers about half a dozen times live, always a high energy killer show!
@@paulfisher3596Cool! I live in a college town, and there is a lot gently used, record stores, blocks from my house. I just remembered I have a (working) cassette tape from the 1990s of Rod's harp playing. ( and I still have a working player).
@@paulfisher3596 If you like all blues harp players & their bands, give the music of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, a listening to. Featuring the older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan, ( on guitar) and their harp player Kim Wilson. Kim is a great harp player and has a gutsy singing voice. The whole band really rocks.

In my opinion, Harpburn is maybe one of the best bluesharp albums out there. Rod at his best.
Very very good cover!
Do this cover comes in an album?
Great!
