Search - Carey Bell & Lurrie, Carey & Lurrie Bell :: Second Nature

During a 1991 tour of Finland, lucky Scandinavian blues fans heard some of that magic as Carey and Lurrie began performing acoustic numbers together on stage as part of their set, often bringing the audience to their feet. The tour promoter, Chip Covington, decided he needed to capture this true blues acoustic miracle on tape. An impromptu recording session was set up and?with no rehearsal and no overdubs?Carey and Lurrie laid down the tracks for their first and only acoustic album, each in one take. The recording is timeless, sounding as vibrant and relaxed as the day it was recorded. The intimate session includes six original songs and spine-chilling versions of timeless blues classics?plus the gospel standard "Trouble In My Way" and the surprising Lurrie interpretation of Smokey Robinson?s "Here I Go Again." With Carey?s harmonica alternating between raucous power and sweet sophistication and Lurrie?s guitar work moving seamlessly from raw intensity to smoky elegance, the two play off each other almost telepathically. And as both men sing with deep soul feeling, each and every song on Second Nature is a blues revelation
