Lurrie Bell The Devil Ain’t Got No Music
Released : April 17, 2012
Label: Aria BG Records
Format : Flac
“As long as there is a Black Church there will be blues musicians”– Sterling Plumpp (Chicago, 2011)
When Lurrie Bell was chosen as a recipient for the prestigious annual 3Arts Grant and was informed that he could use the funds in any manner he wished, the answer for him was easy. “I had always wanted to make a record to show my gratitude for gospel music. I’m a bluesman but I’ve also played a lot of gospel songs for myself and for my family when I’m at home. The music gives me a sense of peace that I can’t find anywhere else.”
“The Devil Ain’t Got No Music” is not a pure gospel record nor is it a pure blues record. It is a musical journey where both genres fit seamlessly together. From the uplifting Swing Low that opens the set to the yearning Peace in the Valley to Bell’s meditative solo take on the classic Reverend Gary Davis song Death Don’t Have No Mercy, “The Devil Ain’t Got No Music” plays out like many of the greatest blues recordings, reflecting all the emotions that life conjures. And also like the best blues records, real stories about real life unfold.

Musicians featured on the recording include Billy Branch on harmonica in the full band arrangement of Trouble in My Way, the ever creative Chicago percussionist, Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith and noted New York blues and gospel musician Bill Sims Jr. Critically acclaimed guitarist, songwriter and singer Joe Louis Walker laid down a languid slide guitar on Peace in The Valley and a rough and tumble slide on It’s a Blessing. Joe also had the opportunity to testify on I’ll Get To Heaven on My Own, written by Walker.
