Albums Of Note... Get Up! pairs modern blues idol and expert slide guitarist Ben Harper with harmonica legend Charlie Musselwhite. Aiming for blues authenticity, that’s exactly what Ben and Charlie achieve here. The pair of talented blues musicians fly in the face of modernity and instead strive to recreate the dusky glamour of a Chicago blues club.

“In general, Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite have delivered a strong, yet candid and fun blues album. This album really does not care that it is 2013, and why should it?

In Harvey's case, though, this is half the problem: what he and the various collaborators here have come up with is locked in the post trip hop miasma of the late 90's, the kind of thing your Olives, Smoke Cities or Sneaker Pimps came up with once upon a time.
