GA-20 has been doing the quiet, necessary work of keeping raw, unvarnished blues alive for a new generation, drawing from the deep well of Chess Records-era Chicago and the Texas roadhouse tradition. Pairing them with Charlie Musselwhite, who was absorbing those sounds firsthand on the South Side in the 1960s, creates a genuine cross-generational conversation rather than a novelty collaboration. BLUES NOW! The title says it all. Blues in all caps - honest, emphatic, and raw. This collaborative album unites GA-20, one of today's most celebrated young Blues trios, and Charlie Musselwhite, a legendary statesman of the genre. Musselwhite's name is synonymous with the Blues, a harmonica virtuoso and esteemed vocalist with a 60-plus year career forged in authenticity and excellence. GA-20 burst onto the scene in 2018, garnering a quick reputation for dynamic live performance, built on a deep respect for the originators and an enduring commitment to carrying the torch forward. Together with BLUES NOW (New West Records), the Grammy award winning Musselwhite and Billboard chart-topping GA-20 shine with a chemistry that blends the spirit of the Blues pioneers with an electrifying modern energy.With BLUES NOW, the collaboration between GA-20 and Charlie Musselwhite embodies a living musical conversation that spans generations. It is an ongoing dialogue and testament to the enduring spirit of Blues music. It reaffirms it's timeless appeal and reminds us that the Blues is a living, breathing art form. It's also a hell of a good time.
