Album Description
Barbara Bell's sharp-edged songs gnaw holes through music genres. This is acoustic music as sung from the edge of a razor, sometimes upbeat, sometime quiet, but always slicing deep. Gritty, dark lyrics shine with a spooky gleam. Not one song will disappoint. The acclaimed author of Stacking in Rivertown, a Simon & Schuster novel, Bell grips her music as hard as her text. Features a delta blues version of The Bull is Blind, recorded in a basement, accompanied by blues player, Gordon Bonham, on National Steel. 12 tracks. 2002 release.
