MP3s? We Got 'Em

A brief reminder: You can always hear Hunter's very latest pieces for free online at Broadjam!

As of September 2005, Hunter released 28 pieces to subscribers in his FREE "Jacked In" series of electric recordings, including Black Widow, a full-on piece of electric harmonica intended for a vampire movie soundtrack, Minor Kill, an electric blues homage to Jimi Hendrix, and the moody, beautiful, Floyd-ish piece Pull of the Moon! And don't forget Hunter's screaming take on John Mayall's classic Another Kinda Love, available for FREE download along with all the other pieces in this series!

If you want to hear Hunter's new electric pieces in their entirety, FREE, here's what you want to do . . .

For those of you who just can't wait to hear Hunter's solo works, here's a set of full-length pieces in MP3 (okay, and RealAudio, too) format. (Please note that all pieces and performances are Copyright © Richard Hunter, all rights reserved.) Enjoy!

Solo and Acoustic Harmonica Pieces

How Long Have I Loved You A jazzy duet with a beautiful harmonica melody and terrific guitar by Sonny Rollins sideman Jerome Harris

Peppermint Life An uptempo bluegrass piece with a fiddle-tunish break section. A favorite at Hunter's performances!

Widow's Walk A striking impressionistic piece for solo harmonica; an ocean of feeling runs through it

Winter Sun at Nobska A very un-traditional harmonica piece; lots of Debussy and Bartok influences

When Johnny Comes Marching Home The traditional song, played for keeps

Billy The Kid My solo arrangement of the traditional piece. Dedicated to Ry Cooder

Electric Harmonica Pieces

Here's a FULL LENGTH sample (over two and a half minutes!) in RealAudio format of Hunter's "Put The Lever Down," an absolutely mindblowing piece of electric harp work!

Now that you've heard and enjoyed these pieces (hey, you did enjoy them, didn't you?), you might want to buy Hunter's CDs. We can help! You can order from this site, or order The Second Act of Free Being or The Act of Being Free in One Act from Amazon.com or CDBaby.com!

Thanks!
