Deep Down (album)


Deep Down is an album by the American blues musician Carey Bell, recorded in Chicago in 1995 and released by the Alligator label.

Reception

reviewer Bill Dahl stated "More than a quarter century after he cut his debut album, Bell recently made his finest disc to date. Boasting superior material and musicianship and a goosed-up energy level that frequently reaches incendiary heights, the disc captures Bell outdoing himself". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "Bell benefits greatly from a high-quality backing band and a tight production team that curbs his habitual excesses...It tends to suggest Bell might inherit the Chicago harmonica crown on merit rather than by default".
