I'm always on the lookout for good harmonica albums. Do you have any favorites? I especially digital ones, as shopping gets expensive when I buy stuff overseas.

Here's a list of what I already have:

- Sam Hinton, Master of solo diatonic harmonica
- George Winston, Harmonica Solos
- Mark Graham, Southern Old Time Harmonica
- Buddy Greene, Harmonica Anthology
- Ernest Stoneman, Edison Recordings 1928
- Ernest Stoneman, Doxy

This CD by Mike Stevens and Raymond McLane is another. You'd love it! www.amazon.com/Old-Time-Mojo-Mike-Stevens/dp/B0002TLC2O

He uses the power bender tuning. I tried it and couldn't make anything out of it.
	The older I get the more I know how little I knew when I knew it all.

It did look hard to wrap your head around. I haven't gotten to try it out though.

Seth Schumate mentioned that Boiled Buzzards album. It's good too.

The thing I like so much about the Boiled Buzzards album is how much he gets his harmonica to sound like a fiddle.

I've got albums by Mike Caldwell and Wailin Wood that I like. Mike has a web site. I'm facebook friends with Wailin and can get contact info for him if you like. I believe our own Marcy has an album of Old Time music as half of the Tin Cup Rattlers. Some of Buddy Greene's music is now available as a download from CD Baby. I recently got one of his older out of print albums that way. I have bought some Charlie McCoy albums from his web site.
Here is an oldie you may or may not like. Pie Plant Pete and Bashful Harmonica Joe. Pete plays guitar and tremolo harp. Joe plays chromatic and polyphonia harps. I love my copy. And it was available overseas. A lady named Dagmar in Germany was still selling a CD made from the original master tracks. I bought my copy on EBAY. You can hear some of their songs on Youtube. Here are links to Dagmar's site and the album. Last time I emailed her she said she still had albums that she would be happy to sell but wasn't interested in running an online business due to her age.

You may also like a duo called Annie and Mac. Check them out on Youtube, they have a lot of videos. Mac plays harp. They have some albums for sale. Some that can be downloaded from CD Baby.
