CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE'S NEW SINGLE, BLUES GAVE ME A RIDE,

Song Is First Single From New Album MISSISSIPPI SON Available On CD And Translucent Blue Vinyl On June 3

Album Features Musselwhite's guitar work on every track.

Mississippi-born, Memphis-raised, Grammy Award-winning music legend Charlie Musselwhite will release Blues Gave Me A Ride, the first single from his upcoming album, MISSISSIPPI SON, on Friday, May 6. “Blues tells the truth in a world that’s full of lies,” Musselwhite sings in the original song -- on which he also plays guitar and harmonica -- and is at once telling his own story and plainly summing up the genre’s timelessness. 

Release: Charlie Musselwhite - Mississippi Son

CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE TO RELEASE
MISSISSIPPI SON ON JUNE 3

Album Features Musselwhite's Guitar Playing On Every Song

First Single, Blues Gave Me A Ride, Out On May 6

Mississippi-born, Memphis-raised, Grammy Award-winning music legend Charlie Musselwhite will release Mississippi Son, his new Alligator Records CD and LP, on Friday, June 3.

Musselwhite is renowned worldwide as a master harmonica player, a seasoned, truth-telling vocalist and an original songwriter rooted deep within the blues tradition. As many of his fans know, he’s also a country blues guitarist of great depth, warmth and subtlety. On each of Mississippi Son’s 14 songs, including eight powerfully stark originals, Musselwhite’s straight-from-the-soul vocals and deep blues harmonica playing are the perfect foil to his deceptively simple, hypnotic guitar work, which he features on every track. Mississippi Son's first single, the autobiographical original Blues Gave Me A Ride, will be released on Friday, May 6.

New Album: Elvin Bishop - 100 Years of Blues

Next Friday, September 25, marks the release date for 100 YEARS OF BLUES, the first-ever album by Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame guitarist Elvin Bishop and Grammy-winning harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite. 100 YEARS OF BLUES is front-porch, down-home music with Bishop and Musselwhite trading licks and vocals on 12 rootsy, spirited songs, mixing nine originals with three reimagined classics.  

Elvin Bishop: Guitar and Vocals
Charlie Musselwhite: Harmonica, Vocals and Slide Guitar (4)
Bob Welsh: Guitar (1,3,5,6,7,9,12) and Piano (2,4,8,10,11)
