Memphis Charlie
Editorial Reviews
<"b0000001fb5228"> From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
Two early-1970s albums compressed on a six-inch disc, Takin' My Time and Coin Back Down South, are a sheaf of benchmark harmonica solos, heartfelt vocals, and fine electric ensemble work trussed up in uncluttered songs. As one title affirms explicitly, Musslewhite favors a slow and steady attack that provides the adrenaline rush of a half-speed roller coaster ride. Celebrated pianist Lafayette Leake contributes his vibrant blues intelligence to several numbers, notably Little Walter's 'Take Me Back" and the feel-it-in-the-spine 'This Old Nightlife." -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
