Free Music Notes for Continental Drifter
Free Music Review: Charlie with a twist
Hit: 5 Stars
I was fortunate enough to see Charlie Musslewhite perform the music on this CD when it came out at the Filmore in SF. He opened for Robert Cray and I think it brought the performance of Robert Cray's band up a notch.
Some of these songs are noted Brazilian tunes that Musslewhite took and added his own lyrics to. "Chan Chan" was made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club with Ry Cooder. Charlie adds interesting lyrics and the band is super. "Voodoo Garden" is my favorite but all the songs are uniquely him with his voice and blues harmonica playing. I've turned a lot of people on to this CD. It surprises me that there are only 7 reviewers before me. A fresh genres on blues/latin fusion. You're gonna like it!
Continental Drifter Poster
Charlie Musselwhite's is the voice of experience. One can hear it on every note of Continental Drifter, where the relaxed feel of the experienced bluesman is evident in the main harmonica riff of "Little Star" and the smooth, Delta-style guitar of "Blues Up the River." Several of the songs have a strong Cuban-Brazilian feel, and Musselwhite is joined on several of these by friend Eliades Ochoa and his band, Cuarteto Patria. Musselwhite's primarily known as a harmonica player, and it's easy to hear why on this album; whether he's spicing up the Cuban-blues mix of "Sabroso" or soloing over the jumpy rhythm of "Can't Stay Away from You," he's always bang on the note. --Genevieve WilliamsBlues Music CDs
