Robby Krieger
Harmonica Solo on
Hardwood Floor

About

Robby Krieger's harmonica solo is the sole improvisation on this Full Circle track, another instance of the guitarist stepping outside his primary instrument. Entering at approximately 2:39, his harmonica work in C major at 133 BPM spans a brief 12 seconds, a compact statement that adds blues coloring to a track that reflects the broader range of musical styles the post-Morrison trio explored. The brevity of the solo belies its effectiveness, injecting a raw, roots-music quality into the arrangement.

Robby Krieger was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
