Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated - Hoochie Coochie mp3 download

a real adorable bluesband. unfortunatelly alex was not so successful in financiell way. sigh

Superb band...Big inspiration for John Mayall, Long John Baldry, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, Steve Laine, Georgie Fame , Chris Farlowe and Zoot Money.

Who is doing the vocals here?

Alexis had a huge influence on so many early musicians. 

No - he played BLUES harp; another name for harmonica. "Blues harp" is technically not an actual instrument but a specific style or technique of playing a diatonic harmonica, the same sort of harmonica which can also be played quite differently for folk songs or country music.

Here in the UK we were blessed with him also as a radio dj, his personality and insight were faultless and many successful people owe him their gratitude........great voice, great guy

These guys set the tone for the sound of British blues; typically loud and aggressive, even more so than Chicago style.

Blues harp (also known as "cross harp") involves playing the harmonica in a key for which it was not designed, for example a "C" harmonica would be used in a song in the key of G. This enables the player to "bend" notes like a guitarist and to play the characteristic blues scale.

Just too bad Davies died so young. He was one hell of a harmonica player
