Legendary producer Ralph Bass supervised this quickie session back in 1977, but it failed to see the light of day domestically until Delmark rescued it from oblivion. They did the blues world a favor: it's a worthwhile session, Bell storming through a mostly original setlist (the omnipresent Little Walter cover this time is &Everything's Gonna Be Alright&). Aron Burton and Sam Lay comprise the rhythm section, and son Lurrie contributes lead guitar.
