What better way to celebrate Charlie Musselwhite's 78th birthday today than to listen once again to his debut collection on Vanguard, Stand Back! Here Comes Charley [sic] Musselwhite's Southside Band. Released in 1967, Musselwhite was only 23 when he went into the studio with sidemen assembled as the "Southside Band," Bob Anderson (later to play with Howlin' Wolf), bass; Fred Below (who recorded with everyone at Chess), drums; Barry Goldberg, keyboards and guitar; and Harvey Mandel, guitar. 55 years later, this album is still a killer.
