WS818: Charlie Musselwhite and Gill Landry




The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Podcast show

Summary: CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE is one of the most revered blues musicians in the world. The harmonica master, also a respected singer and songwriter in his own right, has won countless awards during his legendary career including induction into the Blues Hall of Fame and collabo-rated with innumerable musical giants of the past 50 years including Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Wa-ters, Big Joe Williams, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Tom Waits, Eddie Vedder and Ben Harper, just to name to name a few. His latest 'I Ain't Lyin' is all Charlie – original tunes penned by this Grammy winning master that resonate with the South itself – rising from the Mississippi, crossing the levy, dancing through the streets and cutting to the heart of all that matters. GILL LANDRY is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Louisiana. After cutting his musical teeth busking in New Orleans and chewing up half of America, he started writing songs about it; interpreting life from the curb up. Gill's self titled third album is his first on the ATO label, but he is not new to the family. He's played guitar, banjo, pedal steal, and been a contributing songwriter in Old Crow Medicine Show since 2004. Although Gill's music is influenced by some of the same sources as Old Crow, from Dylan to old delta blues songsters, his music is very much his own.
