Product Description
(1999 'Telarc')(63:58/11) Diese Produktion knüpft direkt an die knapp 10 Jahre zuvor erschienene CD 'Harp Attack' auf Alligator an wiederum vier Harpspieler, die meist jeweils zu zweit einen Titel bestreiten, beim elfeinhalbminütigen 'Harp To Harp' jedoch wahrhaftig allesamt zum Zuge kommen. Der stimmlose James Cotton läuft zu Höchstform auf, Sugar Ray spielt und singt gefühlvoll, Musselwhite ist Klasse und Billy Branch spielt routiniert. Begleitet werden die Harp-Stars von ehemaligen Mitgliedern der Bands von Ronnie Earl und Sugar Ray, an der Gitarre Kid Bangham, der ursprünglich Jimmie Vaughan bei den Fabulous Thunderbirds ersetzte. Fazit: keine Sensationen hier, doch jede Menge guter Stoff für Harmonica-Fans

Blues harp class
20 Mar 2000
Format:Audio CD
This CD explores blues harmonica playing, almost in the form of a harp master class, and delivers in wonderful production, band and frontmen. Essentially, Sugar Ray Norcia is the main man here, playing on 7 of the 11 tunes, and he proves to be the best player AND singer. I have never heard him play as well on record before and he outplays the other players throughout. James Cotton also plays better than in a long time, which is nice to hear. Charlie's 3rd position playing, including his signature odd tuning work can also be heard and as far as I can pick up 1st, 2nd and 3rd position playing is covered on the CD. The playing by Billy Branch is good, but I have heard him better, especially on Johnny Winter's PointBlank releases where he is simply oozing. What makes this CD so enjoyable is the backup band, led by guitarist Kid Bangham, formerly of Sugar Ray's Bluetones and Fabulous Thunderbirds, providing excellent backup. This not just a harp record, it delivers nice guitar, piano, bass and drums. I can wholeheartedly recommend this CD to all blues lovers, but you have to love or enjoy harmonica.

Best of the Harp Players
9 Mar 2000
Format:Audio CD
I picked this CD up as an promotion, and was pleasantly surprised when I first listened to it! Charlie Musselwhite,Billy Branch and James Cotton out perform themselves, along with the other performers. Track No. 3 is outstanding in it's own right. I recently met Billy Branch at a local performance and stated to him that it was an outstanding CD..he stated to me at the time, that he did not even have a copy yet. You will listen to this CD over and over again and get new meaning everytime.
