Second album by this special duo. Apparently also two opposites: Ben Harper was once a star in the making (caliber ) who increasingly did what he wanted and thus somewhat lost the mainstream audience. Charlie Musselwhite is a living blues legend and harmonica player who was active in Chicago when all the great blues artists were there. Aware of that legacy, Harper serves as songwriter, singer and
… guitarist Musselwhite with songs that are firmly rooted in the Chicago blues. These are also performed raw and primary, with Musselwhite being like a fish in water. With its dirty and scratchy game, it completes an authentic atmosphere. But a warm friendship between the two artists also shines through on this enthusiastically pounding blues album. (MR)more
