I saw James and this lineup many times throughout the 90s in Long Beach. I've never seen another blues band that can hold a candle to The James Harman band
The Blasters and Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs come to mind. James Harman was in their class, but certainly not a cut above them. In short, James Harman has had some of the best blues bands around, always having great people playing with him.
@dunskie We all have our favorites, ask James himself how he feels about Phil Alvin and the late Top Jimmy as blues singers. I'm sure he'd be proud to be spoken of in the same sentence as those two singers. And we all know James has a high opinion of himself. Just ask him, and he'll wax poetic about both. I'm glad you like James Harman, what can I say?
@edboswell Alvin and Jimmy are two of my favorites as well. Merry Christmas. You obviously know Harman very well. lol
I have been in his presence whilst he has held court. You have too, I take it. Anyway, they are all phenomenal, and just about all of the West Coast guys are my favorites.
Joel Foy has laid down some of the finest trad. and W.C. blues tracks of any of his contemporaries. I think of West Coast Walk, Ice Cream Man and All About My Girl with Bill Clark to name a few.

@edboswell I disagree. Harman is, was, and always will be, the best singer of all the west coast cats.
