Amy Wright catches up with veteran bluesman and endearing artist Charlie Musselwhite. A Mississippi native born in the 40s, he came of age in Memphis, TN, right as rock and roll was clawing its way into existence and latching onto the hearts of young teenagers around the country, but it was the blues of Chicago that called Charlie’s name.  On today’s show, Charlie and Amy look at the achievements and legacy that he’s built over the last 60 plus years, including his latest album for Alligator Records, Mississippi Son, released in June of this year. The Grammy Award-winning music legend has released nearly 40 albums and is renowned worldwide as a master harmonica player, a seasoned, truth telling vocalist and an original songwriter rooted deep within the blues tradition.
