One of the best Chicago-style blues harmonica players of the post-Chess era, Charlie Musselwhite was born in Mississippi, and soaked up plenty of country blues influences, but it was after his emigration to Chicago that he really came into his own. His 1967 debut album STAND BACK, with it's vibrant Chicago sound, was a crossover success with both the burgeoning hippie crowd and blues aficionados. Musselwhite continued recording consistently into the 21st century, latterly incorporating jazz and international influences into his sound.
