peter & gordon (with brian jones on harmonica) - a mess of blues - stereo remix
- 2 years ago
Edit (mess of blues) for headphones. Brian Jones plays harmonica on this song by the British pop duo Peter Asher (born 1944) and Gordon Waller (1945-2009). Yes indeed! Super dull video! And guess why they didn't ask mr. Jagger to do the harmonica part... I know the reason why! He is a lousy harmonica player!
The song was written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. Released december 18, 1964.
Gordon Waller: "Brian Jones and I were very close friends. He came to quite a few of our sessions and taught me how to play the harmonica when we toured with the Stones. Brian gave the harmonica to me after he played it on a couple of Peter and Gordon tracks. I played it on a few as well. It's a bit rusty because Brian taught me a trick with these things: soak them in warm water just before you play them. It doesn't do them much good look-wise but the warm water makes the reeds softer and more flexible so you can "bend " the notes a lot more."
