Harman performed as a blues harmonica player and singer in Chicago,

 Albert King, B.B. King, T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulsom,
Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and Albert Collins.
 In 1977 he formed the James Harman Band. Over the years their line-up

 Gene Taylor, who departed in 1981, also to join the Blasters before
