who is the best blues harmonica player in the world?

Looking purely at blues, it is largely a matter of personal taste, but my favourites are Johnny Mars and Sonny Terry.\n\nHowever, looking at chromatic harmonica players, Toots Tielemans version of 'Georgia on My Mind' is absolutely breathtaking, with some of the best blues licks I have ever heard.

Wonderful! Another Harmonica Player! wooot!!! So, when I play Harmonica I can figure out what to play where in a song. Even if the Harmonica doesn't EXACTLY match up. I can just hear it. I would suggest find out the key that the song is in, and use the harmonica that is in that key...or even a harmonica a step lower MAY work (don't quote me on that though, I'm not completely sure). I'm a little sleepy now to really give you great advice on the Harmonica. I'm guessing you are the Harmonica player and this isn't asked for a friend or relative-and I think you should know that I am happy that there is another Harmonica player out there. :)\n\nTake care.

Steve Davis is my pick for best ever pro snooker player.\n\nStephen Hendry has been no slouch either.

Iron Maiden - I just love Bruce Dickinson's voice and their lyrics. Steve Harris is the best bass player in the world!

I think this is a hard question but I am going to go with James Morrison, his album is flawless! If your into these guys then check out Paolo Nutini! His album is excellent! xx

He released a CD in 1998 called "Alone at Last".  In 1999 he released "Live at The Pheasant".  That's all I could find.  Try looking up some of the blues websites.  You might find something about him there.

Also known for things, including the Nashville Numbering System and playing bass on many Nashville recordings, Charlie McCoy, because of his harmonica playing,  won CMA instrumentalist of the year for his harmonica playing..  At the time, he was up against the greats like Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph, Floyd Cramer and Tommy Jackson.  Would you mind having him for a roommate?  Me, I'd get out my old Gibson guitar.

Hes great. I especially love Daughters and his recent blues oriented live CD. Hes a great blues guitarist and a clever lyricist and songwriter.

Jonny Wilkinson, hands down. He's got the looks *and* the skills. Check out the cover of his autobiography:\n\nhttp://images.amazon.com/images/P/0747242763.02._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg\n\nThere's also some decent snaps on his official site:\n\nhttp://www.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,7994,00.html

The above answer seems pretty spot on, but I'll add one more thing, some other great links about W.C. Handy who was declared "Father of the Blues" in September of 2002 by the U.S. Senate.
