Lurrie Bell

Lurrie Bell carries a weight few guitarists can claim: he is the son of legendary blues harmonica player Carey Bell, and that inherited lineage gives his Chicago blues an authenticity you cannot manufacture. Born in 1958, he strikes me as a man who has poured every high and low of a long, turbulent life straight into his strings. I am far less interested in fame than in the quiet, smoldering mastery of someone who simply survived and kept playing. In a single bent note from a player like Bell, you can hear an entire lifetime. I would love to feel that live, just once.
