Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame guitarist Elvin Bishop and Grammy-winning harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite are fellow blues travelers and living blues giants. The two history-making musicians—both Blues Hall Of Famers—have over 100 years of professional musicianship between them. They are among the most famous bluesmen in the world. Although they’ve known each other since the early 1960s, this is the first time that they ever teamed up to make an album together. 100 Years Of Blues, the new release on Alligator Records, is blues at its deepest, warmest and most engaging.

Note: While Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite are white artists, their music belongs undeniably to the realm of Black culture as a direct product of the African American blues tradition. Coming of age in 1960s Chicago, both men were deeply immersed in the South and West Side music scenes, where they were directly mentored by Black blues pioneers like Muddy Waters and Little Walter. To celebrate their work is to honor a profound lineage of cultural apprenticeship, acknowledging that their sound is entirely rooted in the history, resilience, and creative genius of Black America.
