Product Description

Mercurial Blues guitarist Lurrie Bell releases his first solo record in 8 years. Bell has often been cited as the best of the younger generation of Chicago Bluesmen and now finally has come out with a record that is ready to claim that honor. Featuring appearances by Billy Branch and Jimmy Johnson, ""Let's Talk About Love"" is both a positive and uplifting experience and a hair-raising journey into the world of rough and tumble Chicago Blues. Having lost both his father (famed harmonica master Carey Bell) and his longtime companion Susan Greenberg in the past year, Lurrie decided to make a record that reflected the emotions of love that he felt in his heart. ""Blues gives us a way to speak about what life is all about,"" says Bell, ""and I had a lot of feelings that I had to get out.

By	Guitar Steve (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

If you are a fan of Chicago blues, you cannot go wrong with this disc. It is impeccable in its style and execution and pays homage to the great Chicago blues artists. If you are a blues fan who likes guitar pyrotechnics rather than heartfelt emotions expressed in the lyrics and the music, this disc may not be for you. Altogether, one of the finest blues disks by a contemporary artist that I have heard in a long, long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars lurrie in france, December 23, 2007

By	Mr. William Pollard "bill pollard" (manchester uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw Lurrie in Calais after a 6 hour drive down from Manchester & a Channel crossing that was extremely rough - however it was well-worth it all as he gave a stellar performance.
Like a young Otis Rush, he was totoall in commannd of his guitar &, even when he went down paths that seemed impossible, he extricated himsself with aplomb & an impressive feel for the music that cannot be taught.
I've got so many abums - &, despite my wife, I'm still buying - but this is one I can't stop playing.
In recent months (as in years past)Lurrie is most reluctantly living the life of someone who must know the blues inside-out; I wish him solace in his work & in his young child & many more years of productive work akin to this standard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real deal Chicago Blues, March 2, 2008

By	Skyy Dobro (South of Chicago) - See all my reviews

Purists, fans, and music lovers rejoice. Here is some excellent Chicago Blues. So many of the "Blues" CDs that I am sent are not really Blues albums. Instead, they are Rock albums marketed towards an aging population of white middle-class Baby Boomers who miss the sounds of the Sixties, but can't find anything in the wasteland of commercial radio that bears resemblance in tone, texture, soul, or feel.
