American Folk Blues Festival 1983 feat. Carey Bell 

...very fortunate to have meet the man. His music was a great gift to us all that set a VERY high standard.

I just learned that Carey Bell passed away.He was one of my mentors, his approach to harp playing and music in general had a great effect on me.R.I.P., Carey, you will be missed!

Can't get enough of this......i love it! Carey Bell was the best!!!

The blues are the roots, the rest are the fruits !

I had the honor and pleasure of opening for Carey as well as spending an afternoon together in 1997. He was a gracious and humble man. Carey had beautiful tone live-the upper registers had a flute like quality and the lower registers growled-this owing in large part to the way his rig was set up. A good man gone-I will miss him.

I just heard that the drummer in this video, Charles Honeyboy Otis, died last August. I played with him in a band in the 90's (Lisa Best Blues Band). He was a really nice person as well as a brilliant musician. Played on many great recordings from the late 50's on. He is definitely missed.

This is perhaps the best musical genre in the world: the blues. Just my opinion.

If that ain't the Blues then there ain't no Blues! Damn he was great!

he was the best! i met the blues with this amazing man, so sad he's gone....

Just beautiful, thanks. The blues for real.

carey bell,one of the best,thanks

Com'on Carey, just teach the Blues up in Heaven; so long, Blues lovers will always miss you.

when he past away I couldn't believe Blues Review mag didn't have him on the cover I think I am still mad about that

Simply the greatest living player...belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of harp players.

I love blues harp and this guy knows his way around on one of those!

THANK YOU, I just got teary eyed.. Amazing!

Fantastic!!!!!!

MARAVILHOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

coincido, un grande lo que se dice!

Very Very GOOD!!!!

........amazing........

blues may have once been "black" music but from it has sprung most western popular branches of music. it is now a universal language spoken by a lot of people from many corners of the world. come top clarksdale mississippi and helena arkansas and touch the roots. you may get an epiphany.

He's so cool.JC

Charles Otis on drums

Shure 585 SAV with volume controle i have one not very loud but a realy handy mic. love you Carey Bell RIP my brother now you're back with your old friends my man blowin harp with the angels.

You don't miss your water til your well runs dry. The older bluesmen are goin away.

Thanks!♥♥♥

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the bass woman :-)

Thats nice ! Funkey !

Carey and Big Walter are my favorite harp players. Junior Wells was great, but these two top him.

Man, he's sick with that harp.

Holy crap is that who I think it is on guitar ? nice

great xD

this is the only music worth listening to. Carey smokes that harp ! Anybody know the bass player? I could listen to this over and over, all day long.

The bass player is Queen Sylvia Embry.

NOW who's Honeyboy gonna outlast???!!! Buddy and Rick Sherry, I guess...

Noice!

@kabacco81 so what....? I thought blues isn't about just composing a 12-bar-rythm, but giving your soul performing... Am I wrong?

I met him in the 90s. He liked the Rolling Stones but didnt care for Jimi Hendrix. Said the shit he did wasnt real blues.

the name of the song please

@casu3 So you're telling me that Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Campbell, Eric Clapton and many other GREAT blues musicians were impostors because they weren't black? Yes, the Blues style music did originate from African-American communities. But it was the influence of the blues that made ALL blues musicians great. Not the color of their skin.

I love Paul Butterfield's music as much as anyone. But the idea that Carey Bell was copying from Paul Butterfield is a reach.
