Crossroads Blues for harmonica (MBH.182)

A harmonica player remakes Cream's version of "Crossroads Blues" into a solo piece. This is an experiment, not a polished performance, but it shows you a few directions that a solo player might explore.

Adam Gussow, on harp, is a member of the blues trio Satan and Adam.

Are you using something to effect the sound? Like a guitar pedal or something?

[KudzuRunner]

I'm using a little bit of delay, added by a Boss DD-2 pedal. I also added just a touch of arena reverb after the fact, using the iMovie program.

Adam is Mr Hilbert -Mr Hilbert?

[KudzuRunner]

Mr. Hilbert is my guitar-man, Charlie Hilbert.

[MrHilbert]

Cool. We'll have to do this on our next gig, which will hopefully be in Amsterdam.

[KudzuRunner]

Amen to that!!
