A Chicago blues classicist puts on the ritz.
-
We Say...
Equal parts Little Walter and Big Walter (Horton), the versatile Bell is a Chicago classicist here, and he wears it well — wailing wildly on Little Walter’s title song, puttin’ on the ritz for the slinky “Big Walter Strut,” saluting Muddy Waters on “Short Dress Woman” and “Walkin’ Through the Park,” and unleashing his phantom, world-weary harmonica moans on “Delta Time” and “So Easy to Love You.” His insouciant vocals on the likes of “For the Love of a Woman” provide an apt counterpart to that moan.
-
They Say...
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 Park" and the classic Little Walter title cut.
