Are people here familiar with Charlie's 1968 album, LOUISIANA FOG, reissued in 1995 as TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS? I just came across CM's version of "Just a Little Bit" (aka "Just a Teeny Weeny Bit"), and his singing and playing are f'ing incredible on that song. Talk about tricks! It's all high energy stuff, with some Butterfield echoes, but a whole lot of upper-octave playing, very fast, that anticipates stuff Popper would do 25 years later.

Thanks Adam. I'll have to check that out.
I see he has a tune called Fat City on an album called Louisiana Fog-I wonder if it's about the Fat City in the suburbs on New Orleans, which had its heyday as a hot nightspot in the late 60s thru the early 80s.
Interesting note :Robben Ford is billed on guitar AND horns-who knew he played anything other than guitar? He's one of my favorite guitarists.

What I love in Charlies playing is how he choses material and makes it. For example "Hard times" of Fathead Newman or very jazzy "Blue Stu" from "Goin' Back Down South" (1975) or "Willow Weep For Me" from "Memphis, Tennessee" (1970)

Charlies' 1969 album "Tennessee Woman" is some of Charlies best early blues on the Vanguard label.
It included "Christo Remdemtor","Little By Little","I Dont Play",and "Blue Feeling Today",which featured a young Rod Piazza on chromatic.
