Good but not so well known harmonica blues bands.

Ditto Little Charlie, Siegal/Schwall & charlie Musselwhite. Dont overlook James Cotton,and back in the70's there was a guy called King Biscuit Boy who was quite good also...

Try some Sugar Blue. Snooky Pryor--an underrated legend.

The best blus CD that should have won blues CD of the year a few years ago was Blues Time with Magic Dick and Jay Giles. Yes the J. Giles we all know and love??? He can really play Chicago blues guitar better thatn most out there but nobody ever knew it. I will send you a copy if you email me your address.

William Clarke, who passed away in 1996, was a fierce harmonica player who won several W.C. Handy Awards. I highly recommend his albums "Serious Intentions", and "Blowin' Like Hell"

James Harman, always surrounds himself with first rate players, plays a great harmonica, and writes songs with clever lyrics. Check out "Two sides to Every Story" for a good introduction to this highly entertaining musician. Better yet, catch him live, usually on the west coast.

Does Segal/Schwall qualify as 'not so well known'?

Little Charlie & the Nightcats -- captured live....

Carlos del Junco is not just good but Incredible! Saw him Saturday night with an incredible band all that were mistake free as compared to Carlos. I guess it is easy to squeak out a wrong note or two when you attempt 12 harmonicas and not one a chromatic version. Additionally, he impressed me with his ability to let each memeber step forward for their say, in other words he understands how to play in a band and lead.

I enjoy his later work as it fuses jazz to the blues as I am more a jazz than blues afficinado.
