Charlie Musselwhite - Takin' My Time (Arhoolie LP1056, 1971)
Vinyl Rip
Another highly talented and original
ensemble -- Rose still on piano, with the Ford brothers (Pat and
Robben), on drums and guitar, respectively. Again, Rose contributes an
original departure, the solo piano ballad "Two Little Girls" -- and, as
usual, it is to Charlie's credit that he welcomed such far-from-blues
mood swings. Otherwise, the band's (especially Robben's) jazzier
leanings were checked at the studio door
