 Mitch
Kashmar (featuring Junior Watson) – Nickels
& Dimes
{2005 | Delta Groove}
The name Mitch Kashmar is well known on the West
Coast; he has been around for a couple decades
blowin' his harp and singing the blues. Though
I have never seen him in person, he is definitely
one of my favorite harp players (yes, I do like
those harmonica boys!) Unfortunately for me and
all of the Mid-West, South & East, Mitch doesn't
tour much outside of the California bay area.
Check out this album and you are guaranteed one
terrific trip to harmonica paradise with some
mighty fine musicians along for the ride!

Track
Listing:
1. Dirty Deal - with lyrics
like "grab a big stick and scrape ya off
my shoe" this one is a pleaser!
2. Nickels & Dimes - totally
infectious tune; listen to this tune once and
you will be humming it all day!
3. New York Woman - sad blues
about a woman that stole someone's heart.
4. Just Show It To Me - jumpin'
swingin' diggin' it all the way!
5. Lizzy Mae (w/ Abu Talib) - great
vocals from Abu; slow bluesy track about a first
love.
6. Getting' Drunk - a surprising upbeat
tune about drinking yourself silly due to love
gone bad!
7. Becky Ann - great song about
Mitch's fiancé (I am assuming).
8. Knock 'Em Dead (w/ Arthur
Adams) - Swingin' tune about being yourself.
9. I Don't Play - familiar
rumba shuffle tune.
10. Whiskey Drinkin' Woman
- typical slower tune about a drinkin' blues
woman.
11. We're Sittin' Home Tonight
- jump boogie about chillin' w/ your loved one.
12. Who-classic Little Walter;
my favorite track on the disc!
13. Runnin' Off at the Mouth
- mind blowin' harmonica instrumental; my second
favorite on the album.
*This album was also produced by Randy Chorikoff
who also produced the latest Rod Piazza album/DVD
set. Learn more about Mitch at this

winner and one I’d recommend to all by
cyber friends.
