Who's the best blues harp player.

Personally, I think it's a toss up between Sonny Terry, James Cotton and Little Walter. Any Thoughts.

Listen to him on the live song:"Everything's Gonna Be Alright." And you'll know!

However, I have to go with Sonny Boy Williamson II, Junior Wells, James Cotton, William Clarke, Sonny Terry, Kim Wilson, Billy Branch. As for an all-time fave, it'd be a toss up between James Cotton and Junior Wells.
