In Reply to: Why are harmonica parts never "sung over"?? posted by Jeff on September 04, 2002 at 20:39:02:
: I don't know if that's the correct term. But basically I realized that EVERY single song I've ever listened to that had a harmonica part in it, was a solo. Whether it was 5 seconds, or 5 minutes. Why is that?? Have I just not found a song where there's harmonica in the background, plus vocals at the same time?? I know a lot of artists happen to sing as well, therefore they obviously can't sing plus play harp at the same time, but still...
: Anyone know where I'm coming from??
Check out Muddy Waters, lots of harp & vocals at the same time, especially when jerry Portnoy's on "First Chair".
