    [Musselwhite's] team-up with Haprer vibrantly showcases his pasionate, fluid style.... [Harper] mostly stays out of the way, perhaps to a fault. [8 Feb 2013, p.75]

    Musselwhite's dialogue with Harper's soulful tenor and punchy guitar is pure Astaire and Rogers.

    There's a palpable sense of comfort between these two, and each listen becomes nothing more than yet another illustration of exactly how strong their musical connection is.

    It benefits substantially from the synergy that the potent presence of Charlie Musselwhite helps to create. [Feb 2013, p.90]

    One of the thrills of Get Up! is hearing Harper rock on hard blues, refreshing from a powerful singer-guitarist whose work can be overly hushed. This kind of music is meat for Musselwhite.

    The album is a beguiling mix of acoustic and electric blues, with harmonica legend Musselwhite weaving in and out like a roadhouse virtuoso.

    Ultimately, Get Up! earns its titular exclamation point as a successful combination of two talented veterans feeding off each other's dusky, creative spirit.
