The two history-making musicians – both Blues Hall Of Famers – are blues legends with over 100 years of professional musicianship between them. Although they’ve known each other since the early 1960s and recorded as guests with John Lee Hooker (and other friends), this is the first time that they ever teamed up to make a full record. Bishop and Musselwhite are joined by guitar and piano master Bob Welsh (also a member of Elvin’s Big Fun Trio) for an infectious set of warm, funky, down-home blues.

The album was recorded at Kid Andersen’s Greaseland Studios and Bishop’s Hog Heaven Studios in northern California. It was produced by Andersen and co-produced by Bishop, Musselwhite and Welsh. The laid-back, spontaneous nature of 100 YEARS OF BLUES highlights the heartfelt passion of each performance. Throughout the album, the interplay of guitar, vocals, harmonica and piano is virtually telepathic. Infused with their deep understanding of the blues tradition mixed with the good-time spirit these two old pals stir up, 100 YEARS OF BLUES is one of the finest, most memorable recordings of either artist’s career.
