Though he was born in Mississippi, harmonica player/singer Charlie Musselwhite came to be one of the musicians defining the 1960s Chicago blues sound. While he learned from the previous generation of Chicago blues wizards (Little Walter, for one), Musselwhite developed his own unique, almost saxophone-like style. UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY presents him in a live context, wailing away on tunes classic and serious ("Key To The Highway") and those that exude a sense of Saturday-night revelry ("Big Leg Woman").

One of the best Chicago-style blues harmonica players of the post-Chess era, Charlie Musselwhite was born in Mississippi, and soaked up plenty of country blues influences, but it was after his emigration to Chicago that he really came into his own. His 1967 debut album STAND BACK, with it's vibrant Chicago sound, was a crossover success with both the burgeoning hippie crowd and blues aficionados. Musselwhite continued recording consistently into the 21st century, latterly incorporating jazz and international influences into his sound.
