Charlie Musselwhite - Memphis Charlie (Arhoolie,1989)
Recorded in 1971 & 1974.
REVIEW
“Musselwhite's biting lines, dramatic singing style and overall
colorful stage presence have made him a star among fans who flocked to
him in the '60s and '70s. Half of these 14 songs were included on
Takin' My Time with the rest taken from Goin' Back Down South. Both are
excellent sets. The former includes sparkling guitar support from
Robben Ford while the latter boasts the always formidable piano of
Lafayette Leake. Musselwhite covers anthems from Little Walter, Willie
Dixon, and Johnny Young, but he also does several originals, among them
'Up and Down the Avenue,' 'On the Spot Boogie,' and 'Highway Blues.'
His voice has deepened some since the early '70s when these were
recorded, but his booming harmonica licks are still easily
identifiable” (Ron Wynn — Living Blues)
