... Huey Lewis continued

Here is another great example of Huey on harmonica - "Bad Is Bad" which was originally written by Huey's first band Clover and later recorded by Huey for "Sports". This version here features James Cotton:

Of course Huey gets more associated with Rock Harmonica but he does know how to play the blues - which somehow gets ignored though. Good examples would be his recordings with Nick Gravenites, Joe Louis Walker, Maria Muldaur or Jim Belushi.

Anyhow, it would be interesting to see if David can interview Huey for this website one of these days.

Btw, the intro wheelsOH posted - which incorporates Little Walter's "Roller Coaster" - was used to start "Working for a Living" ... it also gets used to start "Bad is Bad":
