Mississippi Son [Clear Blue LP]

Grammy award-winning blues icon returns to his Delta blues roots for the most captivating musical statement of his long and legendary career. Charlie's first new solo studio release in seven years is stripped-down and semi-acoustic, driven by his deft guitar playing, while also featuring the masterful harp and soul-deep vocals for which he is famed. Mississippi Son is front porch country blues that is at turns raucous and languid, haunting and impossibly soulful. The track listing includes Musselwhite originals and songs by Charley Patton, Yank Rachell and Big Joe Williams. This warm, intimate recording is loaded with feeling and exhilarating, timeless music.
