Grammy award-winning blues icon returns to his Delta blues roots or the most captivating musical statement of his long and legendary career. Charlie’s first new solo studio release in seven years is strippeddown and semi-acoustic, driven by his deft guitar playing, while also featuring the masterful harp and soul-deep vocals for which he is famed.
Over 350,000 career scans despite the majority of his releases predating SoundScan. The three best-scanning titles of Charlie’s career are on Alligator Records, and 100 Years Of Blues, his recent album with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Elvin Bishop, is nominated for a 2022 Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album.
Alligator Publicity will be placing print, radio and internet coverage around the world.
Alligator Radio will service and promote for regular rotation and specialty show airplay in Canada, Europe and Australia, as well as with various internet music programmers.
Mississippi Son is front porch country blues that is at turns raucous and languid, haunting and impossibly soulful. The track listing includes Musselwhite originals and songs by Charley Patton, Yank Rachell and Big Joe Williams. This warm, intimate recording is loaded with feeling and exhilarating, timeless music. Essential listening for any blues fan.
