Charlie Musselwhite: As Blue as Blues Can Get

The late Big Joe Williams once said, “Charlie Musselwhite is one of the greatest living harp players of country blues. He is right up there with Sonny Boy Williams.” A bold statement from an even bolder man never rang truer. The legendary Charlie Musselwhite is as blue as blues can get. Armed with road tested vocals and killer harp licks, Musselwhite is one of the most celebrated artists to ever count off a shuffle. The past year has been no exception as the blues man took home three W.C. Handy Awards – Contemporary Blues Album of the Year for his 2004 release Sanctuary Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year; and Best Instrumentalist (Harmonica)
