Charlie Musselwhite’s six-decade odyssey reads like a bluesman’s epic, weaving its way from the heart of Mississippi to the soul of Memphis, through the electric nights of Chicago, and into the sun-soaked horizons of California. A living legend, Charlie is proof that the blues—like fine bourbon—only gets richer with time.
He didn’t just witness the golden era of blues; he was baptized in it, cutting his teeth alongside icons like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, playing in the smoky clubs of Chicago’s South Side where the music roared and history was written. The stage became his home, and fifty relentless years of touring shaped him into a master storyteller, his harmonica singing tales of joy, sorrow, and everything in between.
