Mouth Harp Blues is an album by blues musician Shakey Jake Harris recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label the following year.[1] [2] [3]
AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "When Harris returned to New Jersey later that same year to wax his Bluesville encore, he brought along fellow Chicagoan Jimmie Lee Robinson as his guitarist. A full rhythm section was used this time (New York cats all), but the overall approach was quite a bit closer to what he was used to hearing on Chicago's West side". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings considers the accompaniment to be not entirely suited to Harris’s style, and the album not to be one of his best.
