aerospacepat: Carey Bell played harp on most of Earl's recordings, and did some wonderful recordings fronting his own band. He was one of the best chromatic harp players in Chicago.
He was a big influence on Jeff Beck. Listen to DEFINITELY MAYBE where Beck plays slide with a wah-wah. He got that from Earl Hooker. Don't believe me ? Just ask Beck ... he'll tell you.
I love earl's wah-wah blues guitar.. I don't come close yet but I'm trying capture the spirit of john lee's style on my blues vlog at "ectster". I just wish I could do it a fraction as good as john lee does.
I have been a blues fan for a long time and i am ashamed that it has taken me so long to get to know the great Mr. Earl Hooker. i got introduced to him through Hendrix ´s cover of Come On. His music is great great stuff.
I got the American F&B DVD and he's only on very few tracks...But Jimi surely took his lessons from him...Man, what a blow-away artist of life he was !

Does anyone know who the harp player is? His style doesn't sound that familiar to me.. maybe Big Walter?
