[G]
One of the cornerstone tracks from this album is Ray's tribute to Mississippi electric harmonica
blues [D] wizard, Charlie Musselwhite.
Check out his take on the song.
When you write a song and never know if I'm going to make [A] a record or not, that's a great
thing and I can't recommend this for [G] everyone, but sleeping with the president of the [D] record
label, and I'm not talking about Clive Davis, I'm talking about my wife Judy, but the great
thing about that, being an old cat, that I have this freedom to write about whatever I want.
I can go write about Chick Singers or Blackbirds Talking [Dm] or Stone Blind Horses or do a [G] song
honoring Charlie Musselwhite.
I can write whatever I want.
She says, you do that and then let me [D] sell the damn thing.
A song called Mr.
Musselwhite's Blues, it's about Charlie Musselwhite.
I had the good fortune to meet him out [A] in California.
I've just [G] idolized the cat as a harmonica player, but all [D] of a sudden some of his great
[Dm] albums he does where it's just him and a guitar.
I didn't know he was [D] that great of a guitar player.
I met him and I was just so honored to meet him that I kind of had to write a song about him.
So I've got a little song called Mr.
Musselwhite's Blues.

_ [B] [A] And Charlie, [G] you [E] better off with the blues.
