Music: In Your Darkest Hour
The first time I heard Charlie Musselwhite was on KSDS 88.3, San Diego’s jazz radio station and one for the finest jazz & blues stations I know.
I was driving, it was late night and raining, and I was dead tired; the perfect setting for some blues. They played Musselwhite’s jumpy “Both Sides of the Fence” from his album Rough News. Charlie’s dominant harp, strong voice and rhythm captivated me. I bought the CD the next day.
This is another song from that album, performed here by Charlie and his daughter Layla.
Charlie is a true Blues man, he plays with his hart and sole he is a true harmonica master and he is a great delta guitar player, yes a master delta guitar player. Charlie,s vocals come from the hart. They say the blues is the reals will Charlie is the ” reals”
