Charlie Musselwhite – Mississippi Son (CD)
Product Details
Born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis before making his name on the Chicago blues scene in the 1960s, Musselwhite carries the full arc of American blues in his bones. *Mississippi Son* finds him circling back to the acoustic country blues he absorbed as a young man, the same wellspring that fed Charley Patton and the Delta tradition he grew up hearing. At 78, he sounds like a man with nothing left to prove and everything left to say.
Grammy award-winning blues icon returns to his Delta blues roots for the most captivating musical statement of his long and legendary career. Charlie's first new solo studio release in seven years is stripped-down and semi-acoustic, driven by his deft guitar playing, while also featuring the masterful harp and soul-deep vocals for which he is famed. Mississippi Son is front porch country blues that is at turns raucous and languid, haunting and impossibly soulful. The track listing includes Musselwhite originals and songs by Charley Patton, Yank Rachell and Big Joe Williams. This warm, intimate recording is loaded with feeling and exhilarating, timeless music.
