BEN HARPER & CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE

GET UP!


Having first come together during a recording session with blues great John Lee Hooker, singer-songwriter Ben Harper and harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite have been longing to make this album for more than a decade. The cross-generational artists find plenty of common ground on "Get Up!" Sweet tones and sad refrains echo through songs such as the chugging "I'm In I'm Out and I'm Gone" and the riotous "I Don't Believe a Word You Say," bare-bones explorations of their mutual love of jazz, folk and delta sounds. They really do draw out the best in each other: Harper has never sounded so powerful, Musselwhite so free to showcase his full range of emotion while sounding consistently raw. On the closing track, the mournful "All That Matters Now," the browbeaten singer duets with his empathizing harp, "I've walked through some things/ You don't want me to explain/ But we're together, babe /And that's all that matters now."
