New album of raw, powerful blues by Grammy winners Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite
Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum-selling artists Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite have collaborated once more for their new album No Mercy in This Land, due out 2018.
No Mercy in This Land is the first new music from the pair since the 2013 release of their collaborative album Get Up!, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Blues Albums Chart and won a Grammy Award in 2014 for "Best Blues Album." A musical expression of the kinship between the two, the album recounts both Ben and Charlie's personal stories and adds to the sonic history of American struggle and survival.
"Charlie Musselwhite is that very rare and hallowed place where blues past, present and future collide," says Ben about his collaborator and friend. "He transforms notes into emotions that feel both hauntingly familiar and brand new, as if hearing them for the first time every time. He is a living legend whose harmonica playing should be beamed into outer space to search for other life forms."
