Charlie Musselwhite had the blues in Perth and we dug it.
"Overall, a stellar display of electric blues, done the way it was always meant to be: with feeling, passion and fire."
"Even if they can’t understand the lyrics, they understand the feeling."
“I just thought I was havin’ a good time hangin’ out and just doin’ a little drinkin’ and laughin’ and playin’ some blues – I didn’t know I was actually goin’ to school.”
