Title: Heavy Hittin' West Coast Harp

Studio recordings, most of which had been posthumously released on now long deleted CDs on the small Watch Dog label. Including a previously unreleased recording with Luke 'Long Gone' Miles. Compiled by producer and harmonica player Bob Corritore, who also wrote the liner notes. Carefully remastered by Tom Meyer and pressed by Optimal media, 180-gram edition in a gatefold sleeve, limited to 1.000 copies After some tough early years in which he managed to stay afloat with mostly poorly paid gigs in small clubs and only occasionally came out of Los Angeles or Southern California, William Clarke (March 21, 1951 - November 2, 1996) signed with the famous Alligator Records label. With his debut album 'Blowin' Like Hell' for the Chicago blues factory, the West Coast's blues secret became an endlessly touring international star of the scene! With 'Heavy Hittin' West Coast Harp' we pay tribute and respect to one of the greatest harmonica stylists. As an instrumentalist William Clarke was strongly influenced by George 'Harmonica' Smith, a Chicago contemporary of Little Walter and Walter Horton. Smith came to Los Angeles for a recording session in 1956 and settled on the West Coast. Similar to his iconic idol Smith, from whom he learned a lot of tricks in countless joint appearances, Clarke was equally at home on the cross harmonica as on the chromatic. The combination of Chicago-style harmonica and the cool groove and swing of West Coast blues and jazz met the open ears of blues fans all over the world. On his first album 'Hittin' Heavy' he is accompanied by Hollywood Fats on guitar, later recording sessions include Ronnie Earl, Junior Watson, Rick Holmstrom and Alex Schultz a.m.o. Bob Corritore, for many years a prolific blues musician and first-class harp player, producer and influencer, has compiled this album and written the liner notes for Bear Family.

Finally, Jerky Worth the Hype
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2.5 oz (Pack of 6)
Country Archer jerky is the real deal. Most jerky either tastes like salted cardboard or requires a dental plan to chew through. Not this. It’s tender without being mushy, packed with flavor without being fake or overpowering, and it actually tastes like real meat (imagine that!). The seasoning is spot-on — bold enough to make you keep reaching for another piece, but not so strong that it overwhelms. It’s the kind of jerky you “save for later” and then accidentally eat the whole bag in one sitting. Price is fair, quality is high, and honestly, it puts the gas station jerky brands to shame.

Not worth the price for what you get
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2.5 oz (Pack of 6)
For the price, it still tastes like processed meat jerky. The flavor is bold and nice size of a slice to bite on. I still give it 4 stars because I’m still eating it obviously. Would I buy it again? Well, hence the 4 stars. Worth a try, but I wouldn’t pay that much for nothing in quality standards that says it’s worth its price.

Delicious protein snack with lots of flavor.
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Crumbles easily for great flavor on salads. Or eat whole as a delicious snack. Very addictive.
