  28. Release Notes:
  30. This musical hookup between these two experienced roots artists who have more in
  31. common than it seems at first glance, is a natural evolution for both. Ben
  32. Harper seemed like an old soul, even when he began his career, dipping into
  33. classic R&B, gospel, and blues but spinning them through his dark, folk-funk
  34. persona. His work with the Blind Boys of Alabama showed him to be welcomed by
  35. veteran artists who clearly felt he was a kindred spirit. Harpist/guitarist
  36. Charlie Musselwhite's extensive rÚsumÚ typically moved him past the often
  37. limiting structure of the Chicago blues where he first made his presence felt,
  38. to Tex-Mex, Cuban, Americana, swamp rock, country, and even jazz. The two
  39. connected on a 1997 John Lee Hooker session and have worked together
  40. intermittently since, both live and in the studio. This outing, tellingly
  41. released on the Concord/Stax imprint, strips the sound down, occasionally to
  42. just acoustic guitar and harp as on the opening of "Don't Think Twice," and the
  43. closing deep Delta blues "All That Matters Now," reworked into "It Hurts Me
  44. Too." But the duo also plug in for tough, rugged blues and blues-rock as on the
  45. heart thumping "I'm in I'm Out and I'm Gone," a twist on David Bowie's "The Jene
  46. Genie" riff that itself was nabbed from the Chicago blues catalog. Even with
  47. Musselwhite's substantial involvement, this is Harper's show as he produces,
  48. sings every song, and seems to be leading the music's direction with the
  49. harmonica player urging him on and adding to the already deep groove. They dip
  50. into harder rocking territory for the charging "I Don't Believe a Word You Say"
  51. with Musselwhite pulling out his Little Walter influences with electrified
  52. blowing. The skeletal, ghostly, repeated riff of the deadly gunslinger "I Ride
  53. at Dawn" is a stark reminder of how less is more as Harper's slide enhances the
  54. dangerous elements reflected in the song's ominous lyrics. The six-minute title
  55. track -- the disc's longest cut -- is classic Harper, marrying a funky bassline
  56. with the declaration expressed in the song's title as Musselwhite takes a few
  57. licks from Paul Butterfield to edge the track into a laid-back red zone where
  58. the singer typically thrives. But the twosome have some fun, too, in particular
  59. on the spirited, easygoing, sexed-up blues "She Got Kick," one of the few
  60. instances where harmonica is not an integral component of the mix. Ultimately,
  61. Get Up! earns its titular exclamation point as a successful combination of two
  62. talented veterans feeding off each other's dusky, creative spirit.
