Mellow Down Easy [Import]

Carey Bell is one of Chicago's premier harmonica players. Born in Macon, Mississippi in 1936, he taught himself to play the harmonica when he was 8 years old. By the age of 13, he had left Macon to live and work in Meridian, Mississippi. Carey Bell's blues are timeless. Mellow Down Easy is comprised of both original and cover material, yet labels such as "contemporary" and "traditional" do not necessarily apply. What you have here is simply the blues played and sung with honesty and exuberance by one of the best in the business.
