Well-programmed percussion melded w/ funky Clinton-esque(not Bill) vox. Grows on you like the ivy lining my ATL Rec Studio. Needs depth and more direction, but surely, with time this could well be a rising star!

I've had this CD for 4 years now and it is STILL in the my top 5 favs in my collection. I play it over and over. Whenever I break it out for a party or company, people ask "Who IS that?". It's unlike anything they've ever heard.

I'm a big fan of blues and the only comparison I can make is to the incomparable Stevie Ray Vaughan. Even then, Kelly Bell is not the same as SRV, it's just that he has taken blues into something new to the same degree that SRV did but along a different path.

And if you think the album is good, you must see these guys LIVE! What a show! And it's just not K Bell and his band. I've never seen an audience get in to it like at his show. Shortly after the K Bell Band goes on stage the whole audience is pulsing with funk, groove and sexual energy.

Phat blues music is the genre of this music that Kelly Bell creates with this wonderful album. Although based in Maryland all the world should start to enjoy this music for no one should be without it. It is a great mixture of funk and blues that creates of course Phat Blues.

By this album and the next one with out even thinking.

I saw this band in a small pub in Fairfax, Virginia. They were absolutely incredible. Four of my friends and I all bought the CD right on the spot. I cannot wait to see them again.

I go to college in Baltimore, and the Kelly Bell Band played a concert at my university. They had one of the best performances I have ever seen, there show is awesome. The CD is a way to relive their concert over and over, but if you ever get a chance to hear them live, GO!

You will want to listen to this CD from begining to end, over and over. Each track is different and unique so you never get tired of listening to Kelly and the band. They play a great mix of pop, rock (One World) and of course blues. If you ever get the chance to see them in concert, DO IT! It gives you a chance to forget about all the bad in the world and get on with happiness. Get this CD while you can!

I currently live in Florida and have flown to DC at the last minute to catch this band live. If you live in the area, drop whatever you're doing and go, NOW, see this band, you'll only regret you haven't done it sooner. Phat blues will change your life for the better.

I live and work in Washington DC.....am a musical afficianado..play drums and have a medical degree and concede that the Kelly Bell Band is 100% , 24 Karat , unmitigated, unadorened, unimpreached, unadulterated, uniquivical, unqualified, KILLER rock/blues Band.....BUY THE CD and You Willl See/HEAR one of the best Blues Cd's you have ever purchased!!!! BAR NONE!!!!

I'm so glad to see Kelly Bell popping up on the national scene. I was given this CD by a member of the band a couple of years ago and I still listen to it all of the time. The CD goes all over the place funk, soul, rap, blues, rock - PHAT BLUES!

Love the couple of appearances from G-Love too! Give this one a try.

IN THE TIME I HAVE SPENT WITH THIS CD I'VE NEEDED 27 COPIES. MANY GET DESTROYED BY SCRATCHES, BUT EVEN MORE GET BORROWED ONLY TO NEVER RETURN. FOR THE LONGEST TIME THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE KBB CD WAS AT THEIR LIVE SHOWS. SO BUY THIS ONE WHILE YOU CAN GET ONE EASILY. THIS BAND OFFERS MUSIC FOR EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT OUR FAVORITE TYPE MAY HAPPEN TO BE. FROM TRADITIONAL BLUES, ALTERNATIVE ROCK, ROCK, TO D.C. GO-GO KELLY'S BAND GET PLAY AND COMBINE THEM ALL. HEY, EVEN MY MOM WILL LISTEN TO THEM.
