Elvin Bishop & Charlie Musselwhite 100 Years Of Blues LP

Nominated for 2022 Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album. Winner of Blues Music Awards for Album Of The Year and Traditional Blues Album Of The Year. Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer Bishop and Grammy-winning harmonica great Musselwhite join forces for a fun and historic collaboration of front-porch blues. Bishop and Musselwhite are joined by guitar and piano master Bob Welsh (also a member of Elvin's Big Fun Trio) for an infectious set of warm, funky, down-home blues numbers. The relaxed, spontaneous nature of the recordings reveals a unique musical chemistry on nine originals and three well-chosen covers, as the two trade licks and vocals on one of the finest, most memorable recordings of either artist's career.

Given this title, it's no surprise that the duo don't broaden their vistas outside of the blues, but their earthy chemistry gives this record a considerable kick.... [T]he whole affair is a really good time, a record where its casual nature carries some weight, since it's a profound joy to hear two heavyweights relax into a deep groove.
