 Rating:  - Blues Harp Doesn't Get Any Better Than ThisVarious Artists "Crucial Harmonica Blues" Alligator Records ALCD 115 Big Walter Horton and Carey Bell continue the protégé and mentor tradition on "Have Mercy".

Among the many good collections of Harmonica music (particularly of the blues variety), this is highly recommended budget-friendly stuff that is for the casual fan of good music as well as the practicing harmonicist.
