All Star Lineup

Spurred by a recording of "Summertime" by Mark Hummel, I just bought a 2-CD set of wonderful stuff not previously in my music library: "Still Here and Gone, 1993-2007; Mark Hummel's Blues Harmonica Blowouts." Live recordings from the earlier years of the Blowouts, on this set featuring a number of artists who are no longer with us. William Clarke, James Harman, Lazy Lester, Paul DeLay, Johnny Dyer, Carey Bell and Sam Myers. And a few who, fortunately, still are. Magic Dick, Rick Estrin, Lee Oskar and Billy Boy Arnold. And, of course, Mark. Good listening! (And available from that good friend of Bluesharmonica.com, Charlie Lange, at BlueBeat Music.)
