Blues & Soul Sessions

by
Various Artists
There's much superior blues and soul music on this 30-song, two-CD set, but its focus is blurry to the point of mystery. Are these tracks fusions of blues and soul, à la artists like Bobby Bland and Little Milton? Not exactly, though a few of the numbers fit that description. Is it bluesy soul, soulful blues, or a combination of the two? Sometimes ...

The harpist hooked up with a young Maryland-based band called Tough Luck for this disc, certainly one of his better outings. The traditional mindset of the combo pushed Bell back to his roots, whether on the originals "Just like You" and the Horton homage "Big Walter Strut" or revivals of Muddy Waters' "Short Dress Woman" and "Walking Thru the ...

Carey Bell is an effective and surprisingly versatile singer but it is his powerful harmonica that really stands out. One of the last of the major Chicago blues harpists, Bell (an alumnus of the Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon bands) had led his own groups for most of the previous 30 years when he came out with this disc. His longtime guitarist ...
