I love this session, an unpronounced guitar for the most part to just enable Kim on harmonica to do his thing and help with the groove without taking it over. It is all about the harp after alL.
You all seem to forget one of the greatest out there..Rod Piazza....Kim is a great player as well, but for my money and sheer innovation, No one can touch Rods playing.
sorry, I'm just venting, it's like everywhere I go,"that guy" is there. I hate that guy, don't be "that guy". you know which bar room ass I'm speaking of.
I love the song & Kim but seriously what's with dudes when they get to be a certain age growin' the flavor saver & shavin' the head bald as a peckerwood?

the best is charlie musselwhite, absolutely no question. all popper does is blow a lot of high notes real fast. Kim Wilson is far better. But not as good as charlie.
@BluesFactor Why can't you just enjoy the music instead of passing judgement? You must be British...
As far as John Popper, I've never heard of him, meaning he may be great but he has had zip influence on the music scene over the last 35 years unlike Kim, Rick, Charlie and a few others...
looks like a Fender Blues Jr but I've seen him use Fender Deluxe Reverb amps too. Basically any low-watt blackface Fender (40w or under) should give you that tone.
Yea that's a blues junior with a single 12. The mic is an Astatic JT 30 probably from the 60's. You could also try a Fender Pro junior with a single 10 about 15 watts, they work great when you mic them.
See ya's in Sydney...7th April 2012..yee haaa!!!!!!!!!!

My head's devoid of hair.
I'm a tongue blocking harmonica player as well, so I'm siding with the great
Kim Wilson every time.
He's the best player of this genre living today.

Yeah, old bald white guys. We were the folks who kept this music going back in the '60s. Rick Estrin isn't bald, just has a high forehead... -L-
Those early T-birds records are as cool today as they were 30 years ago.
FWIW, I don't compare musicians, don't compare myself to anyone else either. Everyone is telling their own story. Kim has a lot of chapters in his...
