Any examples of harp playing on reggae-style blues?

I dunno.  I've never heard reggae-style blues, didn't even know it was a
thing.  For that matter, never heard of blues-styled Reggae, either.

Harmonica in general is pretty rarely used in Reggae.  Another fixed-reed
instrument, the Melodica, is much more widely used, generally without a lot
of tone modification.  In other words, the big blues tones are absent.

Thanks, RH
