Purchase Rough Dried

review in BluesRevue
-------------------
FROM ABOUT.COM
For blues fans, the first half of 2009 have been a real humdinger! During the last six months, we've seen earth-shakin' live discs from the legendary Charlie Musselwhite and legend-in-the-making Nick Moss; liver-quivering new albums from talented axe-slingers Duke Robillard and Ronnie Earl; and groovy new tunes from young - but-seasoned - blues veterans like Shemekia Copeland, John Nemeth, and much more.

FROM ROCKTHEBLUES.COM
When it comes to stomping, lowdown blues harmonica it just doesn't get any better than Charlie Musselwhite, adn what could be better than a live recording right from Seattle's own Triple Door?
The 12 tracks contain only three covers, one being Charlie's main stay since his first release, "Cristo Redentor" (aka Cristo Redemptor) as an encore. Charlie's supporting cast on Rough Dried-Live at the Triple Door features the same band that performed on Charlie's '07 Real World Records CD Delta Hardware with Chris "Kid" Anderson-guitar (Terry Hank, Rick Estrin & the Nightcats) whiois also in the credits as the mixer and one of the recorders along with Glenn Dennler.
I could easily expound at length about each track; but there isn't room for that here. The set is jump started wit the opening cut "River Hip Mama," the barnburner from Charlie's '09 Alligator set Ace of Harps (one of the three cuts included off that CD). Charlie describes "Feel It In Your Heart" as Brazilian blues, which appropriately features an infectious Latin beat. It is off the '97 Point Blank release Rough Edges as is the triple track "Rough Dried Woman."
Rough Dried-Live at the Triple Door absolutely cooks from start to finish and will go down as one of my favorite CD's in quite some time.

BEN HARPER AND CHARLIE

"ROUGH DRIED - LIVE AT THE TRIPLE DOOR"
Charlie releases his first live cd in 23 years!
"For me, it's about the feeling, and connecting with people. Me and my band play real blues, loaded with feeling. And it ain't about technique either, it's about truth. I call this "music from the heart"
- Charlie
"DELTA HARDWARE"
Shot through with attitude, the songs on DELTA HARDWARE feel rough-hewn and tough, just as they should for a guy "born in Mississippi [and] raised up in Tennessee." Charlie cuts loose a good time in Clarksdale, pipes up for the downtrodden, and gives a lover the ol' heave-ho. This is raw, passionate music from a howlin' blues legend who's still invigorated by a youthful spirit. Read more!
