Press Reviews Lurrie Bell (the best blues guitarist in the world)Time: 10:00pm CST Location: Rosa's Lounge, 3420 W. Armitage, Chicago Mr. BiG won't apologize for calling Lurrie Bell the best guitarist out there today. Lurrie Bell, on a good night, creates the most soaring and symmetrical, yet tortuously complicated, solos that you'll ever want to hear. His feel for the blues in practically genetic; his dad, Carey Bell, is still one of the pre-eminent harp players around, and his brothers are now veterans of varying degree on the circuit. Bell's innate feel for the music isn't all the story, though; he has a fascination with sound, and loves creating counterbalanced rhythmic patterns throughout songs, from hokey but entertaining "talking" guitar licks, to low moans and stretched-out squeals that punctuate and embellish his musicianship rather than detracting from it. He's a stone bluesman, and has one of the finest baritone blues voices you'll ever hear to boot. It's a real treat to see him in a small venue and soak in the emotional intensity he can pour into a song; the fact that this is a record release party likely means that the new material will be polished but not stale yet, so buy the record through the Blues U. Store, go to this show, and get him to autograph it for you. You'll have a memento of a real bluesman's show.
