Blues | Alligator Records #ALCD 5009
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. Essential listening for any blues fan.
With 2010's The Well, Charlie Musselwhite returned to Chicago's Alligator Records after a 14-year absence to release what was then his most autobiographical album to date. For over a decade he issued homegrown projects on his Henrietta label, including 2012's Juke Joint Chapel and two dates with Ben Harper (2012's Grammy-winning Get Up and 2018's No Mercy in This Land). He cut the Grammy-nominated 100 Years of the Blues with Elvin Bishop. All these records travel a labyrinthine path to Mississippi Son.
Recorded in Clarksdale, Mississippi – he was born in Kosciusko, and moved to Clarksdale after decades elsewhere – it features eight originals and six covers offering a portrait of life as a bluesman. He leads a trio with drummer Ricky Martin and upright bassist Barry Bays on several tunes, while the rest is performed solo. Musselwhite plays harmonica and sings, but for the first time since 2006's Delta Hardware, he plays guitar throughout.
Co-produced by Gary Vincent and wife Henri Musselwhite, Mississippi Son is humid and swampy, it rolls rather than rocks. Musselwhite's guitar-playing style is reflected beautifully in opener "Blues Up the River" – loose, slippery, and subtle. Things get a bit woolier on a reading of Yank Rachell's "Hobo Blues." Musselwhite reflects John Lee Hooker's immortal version with a simmering, sinister, groove. "In Your Darkest Hour" is a paean of personal redemption via the power of love, offered solo to an individual during a time of difficulty. He lightens the mood for "Stingaree," another solo track. His road-weary baritone flows atop harmonica and guitar lines, expressing his devotion to the beloved: "She might not sting for you/but she's always buzzin' me…." On the solo instrumental "Remembering Big Joe," Musselwhite plays the guitar of his late friend, Big Joe Williams, and renders two sides of the Delta blues in his choogling read of Charley Patton's "Pea Vine Blues" with the band, and a sensual version of Hooker's immortal "Crawling King Snake." Musselwhite is a canny songwriter, able to relate his entire autobiography in a two-minute, shuffling, electric country blues. The band grooves under one of the most poignant lines in this history of blues poetry: "Blues tells the truth in a world that's full of lies…." He counters with the shadow side of that identity on the harrowing "My Road Lies in Darkness," and pulls out a slide for a deep blue read of the Stanley Brothers' high lonesome folk song "Rank Strangers." Closer "A Voice Foretold" is a haunting blues spiritual written by playwright/lyricist Lee Breuer and pianist/composer Bob Telson for their play The Gospel at Colonus. It's a prophetic look into the face of death and doesn't flinch. In his laconic Southern drawl, Musselwhite sings with acceptance, placing his hope in a loving, merciful God. The bookend to the journey he began with Delta Hardware, Mississippi Son is an unromanticized testament to living the blues and sounds like it came from the soil. As such, it's a late-period masterpiece.~ Thom Jurek, All Music
