[Harp-L] Charlie Musselwhite Update



Musselwhite Hooks up with Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder

It's been a good run lately for Memphis Charlie. A few weeks ago, he racked up at the annual Blues Music Awards, taking home best song of the year for "Church Is Out," best traditional blues album for "Delta Hardware," best album of the year for "Delta Hardware" and best harmonica player of the year.

Last week, he holed up in a Seattle studio with Eddie Vedder and Sean Penn, working on the soundtrack to Penn's latest movie, an adaptation of the book "Into the Wild."

His impression: "Both Sean and Eddie are really nice down to earth guys and we really had ourselves a time," he says. "Even though there were music producers there in the studio, Sean often gave me directions as to what he wanted to hear for different scenes and it was fun for me to interpret the mood into music for the different scenes."

A month ago, Charlie and his wife, Henri, tripped up to Boonville to try their hand at acting, playing country store owners in a few scenes of author/filmmaker Robert Mailer Anderson's new movie, "Pig Hunt," about a 3,000-pound wild boar that terrorizes Anderson Valley.

Before that, he lent his harmonica to the soundtrack for "Black Snake Moan."
