New Moon Jelly Roll Freedom Rockers

★★★ Volume 1 STONY PLAIN. CD/DL

This originated as a “potluck” session in 2007, focused on Charlie Musselwhite with Jim, Luther and Cody Dickinson, but drew in Alvin Youngblood Hart and Jimbo Mathus. Musselwhite recalled ’20s Memphis and ’60s Chicago; Hart reinterpreted Charlie Patton and The Mississippi Sheiks. Two trivial sing-alongs aside, the music has weight, seriousness and style. A Volume 2 is promised.
