Carey Bell – Deep Down (CD)

Carey Bell spent decades as one of Chicago's most sought-after harmonica sidemen, backing legends like Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Little Walter before finally stepping fully into the spotlight as a bandleader. Deep Down captures him in his prime, drawing on a lifetime of absorbing the real stuff from the masters who invented it. When the son of Lurrie Bell and father figure to a whole generation of Chicago bluesmen plays harp, the tradition speaks through him directly.
