Charlie Musselwhite
The Well [CD]
Grammy nominated for 2010 Traditional Blues Album Of The Year! Harp legend returns to the foot-stomping blues of his heyday, with 13 gritty, intensely personal Musselwhite originals driven by his haunting vocals and fiery, graceful harmonica playing. Two tracks feature Charlie on guitar, and Mavis Staples guests on the gospel-ized blues "Sad & Beautiful World." "Superb, original and compelling...Harmonica master Musselwhite sets the standard for blues"--Rolling Stone
