  Carey Bell — Deep Down (January 1st, 24th, 1995)
♦   Chicago bluesman was one of the finest harmonica players of his generation.
♦   “Raucous and exuberant in the great Chicago tradition ... tender introspection, emotional complexity, and the kind of sensitivity and tonal control a lot of us thought had died with Big Walter Horton.” — LIVING BLUES
♦   “One of the greats of Chicago harmonica gives some of his finest performances. The best album of his career...unstoppable grooves and kicking–and–screaming solos” — WASHINGTON POST
♦   “Bell has set the mark for the harp kings to beat. Stunningly great, haunting.” — ASSOCIATED PRESS

AllMusic Review, Bill Dahl, Score: ****½
♦   More than a quarter century after he cut his debut album, Bell recently made his finest disc to date. Boasting superior material and musicianship (guitarists Carl Weathersby and Lurrie Bell and pianist Lucky Peterson are all stellar) and a goosed–up energy level that frequently reaches incendiary heights, the disc captures Bell outdoing himself vocally on the ribald "Let Me Stir in Your Pot" and a suitably loose "When I Get Drunk" and instrumentally on the torrid "Jawbreaker." For a closer, Bell settled on the atmospheric Horton classic "Easy"; he does it full justice.
