Texas Harmonica Rumble, Vol. 1

"After playing 'Battle Of The Harmonicas' in San Francisco a few times, I created Texas own Harmonica Rumble and expanded the idea by making the harp players use the same back-up band. I booked the festival in Dallas at the Prohibition room for 4 years and then moved it to Antones in Austin for another 6 years. The festival did 3 tours in Europe and 1 in Russia. During this time, two Texas Harmonica Rumble albums were recorded. This new recording is a tribute to the great memories and a reunion of some of the best harmonica players in the world." - Eddie Stout (Dialtone Records) Fronting a small combo on each track, the singing harmonica players are Orange Jefferson (OJ), Lazy Lester (LL), Bobby Rush (BR), Sammy Myers (SM), Joe Jonas (JJ) and Mel Davis (MD).
