The Boss loves his, features in loads of songs. The River is a good example.

Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues


It's Stevie Wonder on harmonica

He also played harmonica on 'There Must Be an Angel' by The Eurythmics

[BIRMA]

Nine Below Zero, riding on the L&N I've seen them perform this live a few times, superb.

[Pupp]

Another Nine Below Zero cut, Stone Fox Chase - the Whistle Test intro

[Benni]

Anything by Five Horse Johnson, Eric Oblander plays harp and sings,

I hope he don´t have stroke on stage, breathing in and out through the instrument.

Sometimes he sings through the bluesharp mic with a "telephone" sound, like in the vid I linked below.

Absolutely great bluesy/stoner band, reminds me of ZZ Top on roids.

Harp shredding starts at 3:20.

Go see them live if they tour again, worth it.
