Music journalist Tony Russell described Harman as an "amusing songwriter and an excellent, unfussy blues harmonica player". James Harman is the real deal. As a child he learned to sing in church and in the evening as a minor he already sneaked in juke joints to see, for example, Little junior Parker at work. He breathes and lives the southern blues tradition and he is one of the last direct links with the first generation of blues artists. This master storeller can often be very fascinating and sometimes funny when he’s talkin’ about his colaborations with.
Since 1962 he has recorded 34 albums, has won numerous awards, has toured in 29 countries. He’s the harmonica player on the ZZ Top albums. James Harman with ZZ Top at the BBC, later ... with Jools Holland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Ks6d4R0SQ

For example, Hollywood Fats, Junior Watson, Kid Ramos, Gene Taylor, Nathan James ... and since a few years he has often collaborated with Shakedown Tim.
