Byther Smith "Hold that Train" Album Review

byther smith hold that train
this is as good as it gets for hardcore chicago blues.
smith sounds like a cross between magic slim and otis rush.
his vocal are hard edged raw and pure chicago.
his playing is somewhat like magic slim and all and all
i would rate him as about equal to magic.
5 stars must buy cd.

Carey and Lurrie Bell "Second Nature" Album Review

Father & Son Team Up
This early 90's recording of Carey and Lurrie Bell in Scandinavia has finally seen the light of day, and it's long overdue.

The Bells lock right in with each other on a number of tunes, including "Stop Running Around," "Keys to the Highway" and "Five Long Years." On the latter, Carey makes sure people know Eddie Boyd wrote this one, giving props to an old friend and underrated musician.

Lurrie has had his personal difficulties in the past, and some have said you'd think he didn't know what he was doing with a guitar some nights. This time, he's right on it, with some excellent acoustic work and Carey's harp wizardry.

The arrangements are simple and sparse, but that's how it all began. This is an excellent bit of their history.
