Charlie Musselwhite will join Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals
on NBC's "Last Call With Carson Daly" on Tues., Feb. 20 (check local
listings for air time). They will perform the song "Dressed In
Black," which was included on the special first-run edition of Ben's
latest album, "Both Sides of the Gun."
Musselwhite, Harper and the Innocent Criminals first teamed up in the
studio together along with John Lee Hooker on Hooker's BEST OF
FRIENDS album. Then on Charlie's SANCTUARY, Harper performed on both

run in Paris and sold-out performances in L.A. and New York City
among others.
