Help finding a song

This was a powerful ballad. I believe way more guitar than harmonica. And I think John Popper played the guitar solo himself. I know he's always emotional as a singer, but this song really stands out how emotionally he can sing.

It's not Sweet Pain, which is low on the harmonica and high on the John Popper totally killing it?

Sweet pain, when they would bring out a guitar on a stand for Popper to step up to, and shred, and leave the crowd wondering why he played harmonica most of the time...

Response by poster: All three songs fit the description I asked for, but are not it. Thanks though. They are very good songs.

Could it be Mountain Cry? That's the one of theirs that I think of first for impassioned ballad singing. The album version isn't exactly light on harmonica, but it's more traditionally bluesy and less of the super-fast harmonica runs and scales you hear in most of their harmonica solos, and there's plenty of guitar soloing too.
