Mississippi Son by Charlie Musselwhite
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. 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. "Superb and compelling…Charlie Musselwhite, with unabashed excellence, sets the standard for blues." —Rolling Stone

Mississippi-born, Memphis-raised, Grammy Award-winning legend Charlie Musselwhite doesn’t just sing and play the blues; he is, in every sense of the word, a bluesman. On each of Mississippi Son’s 14 songs, including eight powerfully stark originals, Musselwhite’s straight-from-the-soul vocals and harmonica playing are the perfect foil to his deceptively simple, hypnotic guitar work.
