The solo recordings of Charlie Musselwhite - In every respect, this is a sensational release. Never before we had the chance to experience Charlie in such an intimate environment. These all-acoustic solo recordings are showing the other side of Charlie Musselwhite who was born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis. As a boy he found out that some of the great pre-war blues players were still alive, living not far away from Memphis. Amongst others he met Will Shade, leader of the legendary Memphis Jug Band. Will Shade became his first harmonica and guitar teacher.
Until now, this CD was only available at Charlie's shows, it never got into the regular chains of distribution. For a limited amount of time, CrossCut will offer 'My Darkest Hour' to our private customers. Fifteen original compositions written by Charlie, in the tradition of Furry Lewis, Memphis Wlllie B. and Will Shade. 'I have a real attachment to the old style of acoustic country blues, and am a direct link to that time.' Very moving album, emotional and touching. CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE - acoustic guitar/harmonica/vocals.
