Microphones and amplifiers are just so much fun that it's hard to put them down, but next time you want to buy a new element or try a new speaker, drop a few bucks on this CD by Charlie Musselwhite instead. It's just Charlie - playing solo guitar, rack harmonica, and singing all-original blues with no amps at all. It's a very quiet, even intimate sound, but it packs all the blues power in the world.
Check out his website (link below) for samples and other info. He also has YouTube videos. Very versatile and diverse playing. A neat variety of styles.
