Lurrie Bell – The Blues Caravan Live At Pit Inn (1983)
Todos conocemos la historia (o leyenda) de Robert Johnson, quien vendió su alma al diablo en un cruce de caminos (crossroads). Lurrie Bell quiso romper ese mito con su disco The Devil Ain't Got No Music («El diablo no tiene música»). Para él, el blues es puramente espiritual y celestial.

The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
