With its signature blend of Delta and Chicago blues mixed with Memphis soul, "Look Out Highway" is pure Charlie Musselwhite. Recorded at Kid Andersen’s Greaseland Studio in San Jose California, it’s the first time Charlie has recorded with his long-time touring band, comprised of guitarist Matt Stubbs (GA-20), drummer June Core (Robert Lockwood Jr.) and bassist Randy Bermudes (James Cotton), along with Andersen who has been in and out of the band for many years. Their chemistry and command is abundantly clear from the opening notes.

Throughout his illustrious career Charlie Musselwhite has received 13 Grammy nominations and 33 Blues Music Awards. In 2014 his collaboration with Ben Harper "Get Up" won a Grammy and in 2010 he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. In 2023, Musselwhite was cast in Martin Scorsese’s film "Killers of the Flower Moon".

Charlie has collaborated with an eclectic list of incredible artists over the years, including Ben Harper, Cyndi Lauper, Eddie Vedder, Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt, Gov't Mule, INXS, George Thorogood, Eliades Ochoa, Cat Stevens, Elvin Bishop and John Lee Hooker. More than any other harmonica player of his generation, Charlie Musselwhite can rightfully lay claim to inheriting the mantle of many of the great harp players that came before him with music as dark as Mississippi mud and as uplifting as the blue skies of California. In an era when the term legendary gets applied to auto-tuned pop stars, this singular blues harp player, singer, songwriter, and guitarist has earned and deserves to be honored as a true master of American classic vernacular music.
