It's a mite ragged around the edges, but Bell's 1969 debut session certainly sports the proper ambience -- and no wonder, with guitarists Eddie Taylor and Jimmy Dawkins and pianist Pinetop Perkins on hand to help out.

Delmark's CD reissue includes three previously unissued items. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi
