Re: [Harp-L] Charlie Musselwhite on the Jay Leno show



The little bit I heard ( about 45 seconds of it) was enough to give me the blues. I downloaded the album from Napster and her version of "Down at the Crossroads" was definitely not one of my favorites. I really just wanted to hear Charlie play through his Cruncher as I have one as well and it's a great amp when I have to compete with a loud band, the louder the band gets the better it sounds, and it just goes to show that any soundman can murder an amp no matter how good it is.

lauper, a pop singer, tried to sing blues, and look real tortured doing it, and wound up torturing a slow version of crossroads...lang did most of the singing, and i don't care for his "i'm a tortured soul" act...pretty much a horrific waste of time...
but lang's guitar sounded xlnt, and he played oustanding stuff. musselwhite's tone wasn't THAT impressive, but you could hear him in the mix just fine...his playing was as dull as it has become the last coupla years.  vibrato is too smooth and lifeless.  just not interesting playing...maybe he's not concentrating on his playing...he's probably thinking to himself, "wow, cyndi can't sing blues, but i sure am getting a paycheck for this clown act.  uh-huh.  i just hope that guy on harp-l, frain, doesn't rip my playing again, doggone it.  of course what has HE done as a musician?  i'm gonna kick his azz when i tour through austin...grrrr...."
