Cat No DE791

Blues harmonica legend Carey Bell created his own style after learning from the masters: Big Walter, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy II. A veteran of both Muddy Waters' & Willie Dixon's bands, he celebrated his 70th birthday just after this recording and is still going strong - although not that long before these sessions Carey had suffered a stroke, fallen and broken a hip and been in hospital for 4 weeks. They made them tough in those days!

Guitarist Lurrie Bell, Carey's eldest son, is a blues star in his own right, and has recorded a handful of albums with his father starting with 1977's “Heartaches and Pain” (Delmark 666). Since the release of his own highly individual “Mercurial Son” (Delmark 679), the amazing guitarist has been dazzling audiences around the world, and has recorded 3 further CDs for Delmark.

30 years after first recording together, Carey & Lurrie Bell have reunited for this remarkable CD & DVD. The sessions were recorded live at Chicago’s Rosa’s Lounge and Buddy Guy’s Legends, plus 4 duet tracks at Lurrie’s home. The live tracks feature Roosevelt Purifoy on piano, plus bass & drums & occasional 2nd guitar.
