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 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.

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

@RockNRollOverDose you're thinking of New Orleans' Earl King not Earl Hooker my friend.
