Charlie Musselwhite

Musselwhite was born in the rural hill country of Mississippi. He has said that he is of Choctaw descent, and he was born in a region originally inhabited by the Choctaw. However, in a 2005 interview, he said his mother had told him he was actually Cherokee. His family considered it normal to play music, with his father playing guitar and harmonica, his mother playing piano, and a relative who was a one-man band. At the age of three, Musselwhite moved to Memphis, Tennessee.

From the Devil’s Ruin Records website Drinking, gambling, sinning, and dying are not only the subjects of Dirty With the Blues, but are the life of Sleepy Eyes Nelson. Ever the recluse, Sleepy recorded the tracks compiled in the album in the hills of Scotland all alone. In the hills of Eurpoe the tapes sat for years until Sleepy's brohter, JB heard them and realized the potential for the music. After a brief release on his own label, JB convinced Sleepy to permit a wider release for the album.
