LET’S TALK ABOUT LOVE - LURRIE BELL
This is only the third album Chicago blues artist Lurrie Bell has released in the last eight years, and it’s his most convincing effort during that span of time. The record is a solid testimony to Bell’s Chicago pedigree. He’s working these tunes with a sturdy group of session players, including Felton Crews, Kenny Smith, Johnny Iguana, Anthony Palmer and guest Billy Branch on harmonica. Favorite tracks begin with a soulful cover of Pop Staples’ “Why (Am I Treated So Bad)” and down-home acoustic number “Feeling Good,” which Bell sings with guest vocalist Jimmy Johnson. Bell also lays down the beautiful blues shuffle “Missing You,” accented by his incisive lead guitar.
