Here come some great legendary names of Chicago blues who meet for the last time for a last homage Cary Bell on harmonica and vocals, together with his son Lurrie on guitar, give us a mastery lesson of professional pride and how to play the most emotional deep blues that comes out from the deepest part of the heart Although Carey Bell was already seriously ill, he sounds more lively and low down than ever Backed by Bob Stroger on bass, Kenny ‘Beedy Eyes’ Smith on drums and Roosevelt Purifoy on piano, plus some other guest musicians, the cd becomes a real present for all blues lovers Twelve pleasant songs, full of a unique emotional feeling, that were recorded at three different places, the first four at Rosa’s Lounge, the following four at Buddy Guy’s Legends and the last four ones, on acoustic format from Lurrie’s home Either on dvd or in cd, it is a farewell record that deserves a place in any good blues record collection
