COOL PHOTO, COOL SONG

My apologies to anyone who knows Charlie Musselwhite's "Cha Cha the Blues". I know I've posted it before, but while browsing at Ace Records, I ran into that photo above of Charlie Musselwhite's South Side Band and had to post it.  You know it's coming, the cool photo cop out. But look at it. It's cool. Dig on the full size here, and dig on "Cha Cha the Blues", a compact instrumental that still packs in three solos; Musselwhite's on harp, Barry Goldberg's on organ, and Harvey Mandel's on guitar. All three are insanely good, dirty without a note out of place. The production ist raw. Check the sound on Musselwhite's harp and that sinister sounding organ, and, fuck, Mandel's guitar tone, not to mention his whammy bar thing at the very end of his solo. This song is, quite frankly, the shit.

The song and another, along with a zip for the whole LP, are at Groove Addict. Yeah, them again. So what, cool photo.
