A fabulous line up, to be sure. You could add these legends: Sonny Boy 1 & 2, Junior Wells, Little Walter, Shakey Walter Horton, Norton Buffalo, Charlie McCoy, James Cotton, George Smith, Big Mamma Thornton, and the mighty Howlin Wolf.
Thank you for posting great harp players that are virtually unknown. Thanks for doing something 'different' for this great instrument ! More ? ! Thanks, DMK.
they showed Muddy Waters, identifying him by name AND then showed Jerry Portnoy playing by his side AND with his name on the screen. Perhaps you blinked?
Tell it like it is Bro. .know one sounded like he did, he had his unique way of playing, and a Big fat tone. I received word of the heart wrenching news of his death while serving in Viet-Nam, and before that I missed their European tour while serving in Germany. ..was hoping to catch him after my 3 years was up. What a bummer !, but I I did get to see John Mayall while in Germany which was great...he packed a mean harp to
@@keyjam9 I can tell you don't play the harmonica...Alan played notes with more feeling than anyone else...John Lee Hooker even said so..lots more players were faster but couldn't come close to the feeling Alan put into it..case closed.
@@pulldpin67 you can tell I don't play harmonica? Wow how incredibly arrogant you are.I would easily bet you 500 bucks I could outplay you, all day long. A real musician knows it's impossible to say who is the best.
First is "Blind Owl" Alan Wilson of Canned Heat. Popper's a poser. Too bad Magic Dick set the trend, which was for speed above any sense of style or deep effect. He's come back full circle in the intervening decades to a degree. Thank god for the Junior Wells scene, and the very underappreciated Corky Seigel. Wilson and Sebastian did super acoustic backup work for Fred Neil in the 1960's. And, Slim Harpo was playing on a rack while also playing electric guitar, so try that for your amped cupping technique!? Think about it, who believes being the Kenny G of harmonica is worth the effort, when an old man like Sonny Boy can gut you with a few perfectly syncopated chords? Or, Walter, milking more blues from a single note, held for twelve beats, than any young pretender?
@@z1522 oh right, Popper is a poser. I'm laughing.... this is the most foolish comment ever here on this video. You don't need to like his style, but he is/was more innovative for the Blues Harp community in the last 30 years than anybody else who is looking for something else, rather than just playing the same 12-bar blues stuff like forever. You're a joke.
@@Geddy92 I'm happy, as long as I can get a laugh. Seriously, Popper's hyperventilating style I find as musical as Kenny G's, who also has technical gimmicks to spare. Norton Buffalo could play as fast, while cleanly going back and forth between melody and rhythm with real musical flair; he was the innovator, and Popper's insulting comment about Little Walter deserves putting him into the Pit of Fake Blues Shame. I've been playing over fifty years, seen Sonny and Cotton and Butterfield and Norton. Don't start me talkin'
Santa loves music. After playing a song with Sleepy John Estes, his partner Hammie Nixon encouraged me to continue. Now 50 some years later! ruclips.net/video/S_gNXeBy1P4/видео.html
wow. Talking about Blues Rock Harmonica and not including John Popper here. What a shame. Instead there are some 12-bar harmonica players. I don't consider this as Blues Rock. Not having JP on that list is just a joke...
just because bending notes is difficult, the players overuse it. IT BECOMES SO BORING HAVING TO LISTEN TO IT SO OFTEN IN EACH SONG. PLAY PLAIN NOTES FOR GOD'S SAKE.
Watching from Ireland
This is the best compilation of blues rock harp i have seen. You even got Korky Seigle who nobody talks about! Amazing.
Thanks again for sharing

@Jr. Mintz, bluesman 🤣🙄🎯
Love the blind owl
There are way many talented harp players out there that nobody ever hears of.
Kim Wilson!!!
I would include at least half in my list. I really can't say my top 10! John Mayall, Lee Oskar, Paul Butterfield and 7 to 20 more!

Little Walter still the best in my book
Molodyetz. But Musselwhite segment shouldn't have been so short.
he is not Muddy Waters, he is Jerry Portnoy!
they showed Muddy Waters, identifying him by name AND then showed Jerry Portnoy playing by his side AND with his name on the screen. Perhaps you blinked?
PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME !
What is the title of the song where Alan Wilson plays on harmonica?
The first song of the video ....
Hello, Anouk St-Claire,
It is Canned Heat - On The Road Again (feat. Alan Wilson)
I put link in the description.
@@badum-tss5578 Oh, I see it ... Thank you 🙋
Mark Ford..harmonica Wizard
DAH SU DAH !
C'mon you dodnt include Paul Delay?Also Mark Ford? You should have definitely included them before John Sebastian and John Lennon. 😂
NO one came close to Alan Wilson...

Don't be ridiculous. Blind owl was great. But many were just as great. I can see you like his smooth tone though.

A'm I mistaken or did you actually miss the greatest harmonicist ever - Little Walter. wtf is wrong with you?
The title was blues rock. He did a good job.
wow. Talking about Blues Rock Harmonica and not including John Popper here. What a shame. Instead there are some 12-bar harmonica players. I don't consider this as Blues Rock. Not having JP on that list is just a joke...
Did you read the title of the video??? Harp players from 1960 to 1980. No JP in 1980. Trust me I was there lol.
Lennon was good song writer and guitarist but minimal harmonica skills.
just because bending notes is difficult, the players overuse it. IT BECOMES SO BORING HAVING TO LISTEN TO IT SO OFTEN IN EACH SONG. PLAY PLAIN NOTES FOR GOD'S SAKE.
You are an ordinary half excuse for a music critic. A total lack of anything solid inside your skull where a brain should be.
No Dylan?
dylan cant play..........sloppy player
pls no a 5 yr old could pick up a harp and play a bob dylan song
Dylan? Hahahahahahaha
Paul Butterfield is greatest of all still nobody comes close.
It's a shame so many of these talents do themselves in with alcohol and drugs. Sad.
He was rhythmically perfect. No fancy overblows or high end stuff but total precision.
Where's James Cotton
