Kim Wilson - Five Long Years - Killer Chromatic Harmonica

Описание: I know this clip is kinda bad audio wise, but
listen to the feel, the commanding phrasing,
the complete mastery & heart of Kim singing
& playing the 3rd position chromatic blues that
he doesnt get enough credit for. He's known for
his great singing, ( RIGHTFULLY so) his complete
"Top of the Heap" diatonic harp playing, but I don't
think he gets enough credit fo rbeing a truley Great
blues chromatic player.

So I submit this clip as THE very Best clip of
a 3rd position chromatic blues performance...
bar None out here on YouTube. That's my
opinion anyway. I'd Luv ya to prove me wrong.

This clip is from 1998, the audience is ALL
harmonica players at aharmonica convention!

The band is former members of Big Dave &
The Ultrasonics from Michigan.

Nick Moss is on Guitar, instead of the Utrasonics
Dave Steele. Ben Wilson is on the keyboards.
(he's with Blues Traveller now) Piet Struyk is on
drums & Jim Rasmussen is on the bass guitar.

(Honorary mention of my pal, Dave Morris,
the harp player from the now defunct Ultrasonics.
They were a great band to behold, and a great
bunch of talented cats to hang out with!)

For you gearheads, Kim is playing through a
Victoria 4x10 45 watt amp. His mic here is a
Turner Challenger Series BD bullet mic that
was provided for him on this gig by Dennis G.

If you know of any other GREAT chromatic blues
in 3rd that come close to this awesome performance
please let me know. ENJOY!!!
