Here comes the last piece of work of this skilled harp player, who got a big popularity with The Fabulous Thunderbirds and has become one of the greatest actual harmonica players With an enormous ability to communicate and a brilliant fluent harp blowing style, this cd is a good combination of West-Coast and Chicago sound Besides, Kim is backed by a bunch of excellent white musicians: Rusty Zinn, Billy Flynn, Troy Gonyea and Kirk Fletcher on guitars, Larry Taylor on bass, Richard Innes on drums and Mark Stevens on piano in some tunes As always Kim’s playing is powerful and electrifying, with an elegant and full of imagination harp blowing style His terrific harp control let him play on first, second and third position with diatonic harp and also in different keys when he plays chromatic harp Tunes and tempos selection is also very accurate In short, it is a masterpiece work
