Like so many kids of his generation, singer and guitarist Eric Bell was greatly influenced by the Shadows, whose instrumentals reached a great success after being Cliff Richards’ backing band About his early times in music field, mention Eric Bell played for a season with Van Morrison’s Them band, and with a blues band called Shades of Blue where he replaced for some time a fellow named Gary Moore Do you remember him? After listening to artists like Cream and Hendrix, at the end of the sixties, Eric decided he also wanted to form a three member band and devote himself to perform powerful devilishly rock-blues Together with Brian Downey on drums and Phil Lynott bass and vocals, he formed Thin Lizzy and for several years they had an amazing success and great record sales Now, Eric Bell starts a new adventure, to present us one of his music facets he has always loved, which is nothing than to pay tribute to his blues great heroes and he comes back with them to the roots with songs of Albert, BB and Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Elmore James and Albert Collins This is a fantastic record that still echoes in my mind after 24 hours of listening to it
