Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite, GRAMMY Award winning and multiplatinum-selling blues musicians, talk about their newest album, “No Mercy in This Land.” The album is their second musical exploration together. Ben and Charlie were in Los Angeles to kick off the album’s release, and visited Google to talk with John Albert, author and journalist (and childhood friend of Ben’s). This show shares the story of Ben and Charlie’s musical influences, and the inspiration behind their musical collaborations. They talk about how they met through blues legend John Lee Hooker, marking the beginning of their strong musical kinship and deep friendship. The show explores what the blues means to each of them and how it is evolving as a musical medium of expression for the 21st century.
