Charlie Musselwhite is both a legit blues legend and a super good dude. I was so happy to do this interview, around the recent release of his excellent new album, Look Out Highway.
Charlie was born in Mississippi, grew up in Memphis, made his name in Chicago and San Francisco and is now back in the Delta. But I met him in Beijing, where he assisted my good friend and band partner Woodie Wu in getting sober. We discuss all this in the interview above. Please listen, share and subscribe! There’s a lot more coming soon. Paid subs are on sale, and I’ll send a signed book or poster if you sign up for an annual.
The paperback edition of my fourth book, Brothers and Sisters: the Allman Brothers Band and The Album That Defined The 70s, was recently released by St. Martin’s Press. It was the third consecutive one to debut in the New York Times Non-Fiction Hardcover Bestsellers List, following Texas Flood: The Inside Story of Stevie Ray Vaughan and One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band. My first book, Big in China: My Unlikely Adventures Raising a Family, Playing the Blues and Becoming a Star in Beijing, about my experiences raising a family in Beijing and touring China with a popular original blues band, was optioned for a movie by Ivan Reitman’s Montecito Productions. I am also a guitarist and singer with two bands, Big in China and Friends of the Brothers, the premier celebration of the Allman Brothers Band.
