Description
Eric Bell first came to UK notoriety when he joined Them just before Van Morrison left for the USA to establish a solo career circa 1966. However, he really hit the big time as a member of Thin Lizzy and co arranged/wrote both "Whiskey In the Jar" and "The Rocker" during the early 70's.
By the mid 70's Eric had left Thin Lizzy (citing health problems) and would play with Noel Redding, Mainsqueeze and his own Eric Bell Band over the next twenty-five years.
Eric is celebrated today as a second to none blues guitarist. The guitar playing on these tracks recorded live is immaculate, smooth and masterful. There is more than a hint of traditional Irish fiddle technique in his approach. More surprisingly Bell also turns out to be a fine lead vocalist.
This CD was recorded live in Sweden during 1996, and if you enjoy dry close up sound of very intimate recordings of a guitar great, then this one is for you!
