About Charlie Musselwhite
A living legend in blues harmonica, Charlie Musselwhite's music delivers a potent, muscular blend of rootsy Delta influences and the harder-edged tone of classic Chicago blues. His heart has always been firmly rooted in the blues, no surprise given his formative years in Memphis and Chicago, and his passion is matched by solid technique; in the late '80s, he welcomed the most productive and popular period of a career spanning seven decades. He made a striking debut on 1967's Stand Back! Here Comes Charley Musselwhite's Southside Band. 1993's In My Time was the best of his early-'90s comeback albums for Alligator Records, and 2013's Get Up! was the first of two collaborations with Ben Harper that won the veteran bluesman his first Grammy Award. Mississippi Son landed in 2022, and 2025's Look Out Highway was a gritty, heartfelt exercise in classic late-night blues.
