Charlie Musselwhite - "In My Time"

One of the few Alligator blues albums from the 1990s that I actually really enjoy (others: all of Luther Allison's and William Clarke's). Harp god Charlie is actually not on harp on many of the tracks, playing slide guitar instead, and sort of trying on various styles, using the Blind Boys of Alabama for backing vox here and there. It's a relatively subtle blues album from this period, well-produced (an anomaly for Alligator), and Musselwhite is actually a very good guitar player. His lazy vocals play effectively against the slide, when it's used, and the lack of wankery is refreshing. And according to the cover, he's the most dapper harmonica player alive.
