Pittsburgh-based harmonica player, songwriter and singer Charlie Barath plays roots and blues music straight from the soul. Traditional Mississippi sounds, unfiltered, with raw vibrations directly connected to the purest tradition of electrified Delta blues. An explorer of the many voices of the diatonic harmonica, Barath is a disciplined and active force in keeping the harmonica at the forefront as an essential instrument for playing the blues, defined by interpretive purity and solid songwriting. In times when songs often contradict themselves through excessive and sometimes unnecessary embellishments, Barath redeems himself with an album like "Issaquena Getaway", where, supported by extraordinary musicians, he claims the right to play sincere, stripped-down music: the blues he has played all his life, now inviting us to enjoy it in a natural and deeply emotional way. This is an explicitly author-driven musical work, fourteen engaging songs that spread the joy of playing without inhibition, allowing the listener to rediscover an old-school blues band that leaves no doubt about its personality, rooted in a tradition where classic and modern elements complement each other. This album lets you experience the blues in its purest form.
