1984 Stereo pressing. "Son of a Gun" is a collaborative album between Chicago blues harmonica legend Carey Bell and his son, guitarist Lurrie Bell. The project stands out as a genuine meeting of two generations, capturing the familial and musical rapport between Carey, who was mentored by icons like Little Walter and Big Walter Horton, and Lurrie, who emerged from the powerful Chicago blues scene of the 1970s. The album features a mix of originals and covers, including interpretations of classics by Muddy Waters and Carey Bell himself, presenting both artists at their expressive best. The record is also significant as a document of the Bells’ unique father-son dynamic, preserving their chemistry for a new generation of blues listeners and demonstrating the enduring legacy of the Chicago blues tradition.
