Hindsight of forty-five years reaffirms what a bitterly ironic title was affixed to Graham Parker and the Rumour’sThe Up Escalator. A deeper, extended perspective clarifies that the deliverance accompanying his signing to Arista Records ultimately never arrived.

Hot Tuna is arguably the longest-lasting offshoot of any major Sixties band. Over half a century has passed since the release of the eponymous debut album, but founding members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady continue to carry on the tradition.

Charlie Musselwhite has issued thirty-some albums during his lengthy career, and none may be more potent than his last two. 2022’s Mississippi Son was a flashpoint of creativity, within which the mix of originals and covers illuminated the Mississippi native’s well-developed skills as a songwriter, singer, bandleader, and harp player. A more low-key outing on Forty Below Records, Look Out Highway is only slightly less enlightening.
