While shopping, I saw a CD by Charlie Musselwhite called "The Blues
Never Die." Is this a "greatest hits"? It contains some stuff from
previous albums (including Christo Redemptor). I have "The Harmonica
According to Charlie Musselwhite" and am looking to pick up another
Charlie CD. If not this one, then which of his do you recommend?
(can't afford all of them)

Also, is the Capitol collection of Sonny Terry stuff (the one with the
cartoon charicature of ST) a good representation of his playing? If I
were getting one ST album, would this be it? Long as I'm asking, if
you had to limit your harp album library to 10, what would you pick?

And finally a recommendation. I so thoroughly enjoyed Mark Hummel's
performance at the MasterClass Workshop in San Jose, that I bought
"Feel Like Rockin". I really like it. Some slow "down and out"
blues, but a whole lot of upbeat boogie stuff as well. I actually
think his live performance was technically more impressive, but the
album in general is very energizing -- makes me want to pick up my
harp and play! I'm going to get his newer one "Married to the Blues"
for sure.
