lone festival features blues musician Musselwhite
The lone Fourth of
July festival will feature
blues m usician C harlie
M usselw hite at its blues
festival beginning at 3 p m.,
Monday July 4
M usselw hite w as
born in the hill country of
Mississippi and landed in
Memphis at a time when the
city was coming o f age right
along w ith him
The
M em phis clubs w ere
exploding into the dynamic
music scene that blended
black and white influences
and gave birth to rock and
roll and its greatest giants
Teenaged Charlie often saw
Ëlvïs Presley, Jerry Lee
Lew is and Johnny Cash
cruising the hot spots around
tow n Living across the
stre et from rockabilly
legends Johnny Burnette and
Slim Rhodes, Charlie was on
the invitation list to parties
hosted by Elvis, who had
suddenly made it cool to be
a p oor w hite kid from
Mississippi with greased hair
and a hunger for music.
C harlie lost no tim e in
developing skills for which
he himself became legendary
-learning to drink deep,
comb his hair “right”, and to
play the hell out of both harp
and guitar
A fter
a rocky
adolescence which included
running moonshine in his
1950 Lincoln (Charlie has
been a fan o f big trunks ever
since), C harlie m igrated
north to Chicago like so
many others from the Deep
South, hoping to find a
factory job and a better life
W hat he found was
Chicago’s South Side, with
all of its grit, hard times and
h isto ry -m ak in g m usic.
Living in the basement o f
Delmark records with Big
Joe Williams (who instructed
Charlie further in the ways
o f drinking hard and playing
deep), he met everybody
including Muddy Waters,
H ow lin’ Wolf, John Lee
Hooker and Little and Big
Walter The kings and giants
o f Chicago blues accepted
him into the clubs and even
on stag e; he becam e an
ad o p ted “ so n ” and his
considerable talents were
further honed
Charlie took these
influences and ran with them.
Forming his own band, he
released his 1966 Vanguard
debut, Stand Back! Now
co n sid ered
a classic
re co rd in g , this album
achieved
im m ediate
underground success and
established Charlie as a blues
force in his own right. The
a lb u m ’s trium ph took
Charlie out to California, and
he stayed for the good times,
good w eath er and the
bounty o f good paying gigs.

Able for the first time to
completely devote himself to
music, leaving the “day jobs”
far behind, he becam e a
regular player in the San
F ran cisco m usic scene
Charlie was in “the scene”,
but he also brought the hard
edges o f Chicago with him,
and to the flower children of
San Francisco he was an
exotic, intoxicating, very
sexy phenomenon
C h a rlie ’s talen ts
have been recognized on
many fronts His body o f
w ork com prises over 20
albums o f his own, and he
has contributed to countless
others including guesting on
B onnie R a itt’s G ram m y
award-winning Longing In
Their H earts; The Blind
Boys of Alabama’s Grammy-
w inning S pirit o f the
Century; Tom Waits’ Mule
Variations and even playing
the driving harmonica on
INXS’ Suicide Blonde He
was the longtime compadre
and musical partner to his
friend John Lee Hooker, in
addition to using Charlie’s
harp playing on several of his
albums, John Lee was also
b est man w hen C harlie
m arried H enrietta Their
deep and abiding friendship
lasted until John Lee’s death
Musical institutions have
honored Charlie, too With
14 W.C. Handy awards to his
c re d it and six G ram m y
nominations, he is firmly
e n tren ch ed in m usical
history. Charlie has also been
honored w ith a lifetim e
achievem ent aw ard from
The Monterey Blues Festival
and the San Javier Jazz
Festival in Spain and the
M ississip p i G o v e rn o r’s
Award for Excellence in the
Arts.
Charlie’s version o f
the blues ventures far beyond
conventional honky-tonk -
th o u g h
the
H arley
Davidsons lined up outside
C harlie’s gigs testify that
Charlie has what it takes to
rock the house. C harlie
himself is simply interested
in sound - as he puts it,
“ m usic from the h e art” :
international, cross-cultural,
modem and classic, those
sounds and tones that have
feeling.
