***************************************************DETAILS ABOUT ITEM**********************************************
ED BELL ~ ONE OF THE TRUE GREATS IN RURAL BLUES.  A VERY RARE LP AND ED BELL IS INDEED AMONG THE BEST BLUESMEN TO BE RECORDED.  ED RECORDED UNDER THREE NAMES BAREFOOT BILL AND SLUEFOOT JOE, POSSIBLY TO AVOID RECORD COMPANY CONTRACTS BUT ALSO BECAUSE HARRY CHARLES, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT BLUES SCOUTS ROAMING THE SOUTH FOR PARAMOUNT RECORDS, TRIED TO HIDE ARTISTS BY CHANGING UP THEIR NAME TO AVOID HAVING THE TALENTS HE FOUND GET STOLEN BY OTHER COMPANIES.  BAREFOOT WAS NOT INITIALLY WELL SELLING BUT HIS RECORDINGS WERE CERTAINLY ORIGINAL AND OF A QUALITY THAT SET HIM APART FROM THE STANDARD BLUESMAN.  MAMLISH IS A WORD OF UNKNOWN MEANING THAT ED BELL MADE POPULAR HOWEVER IT WAS PROBABLY NOT HIS SONG.  IT WAS LIKLY STOLEN FROM JOE PAT DEAN WHO GOT SHOT THROUGH A KEY HOLE BY THE HUSBAND OF THE WOMEN HE WAS IN BED WITH.  DEAN WAS CONSIDERED A BETTER PERFORMER OF MAMLISH BLUES BY THOSE WHO REMEMBER HIM BUT HE DIED TO EARLY AND WAS NEVER RECORDED.  I FIND IT HARD TO IMAGE A MORE BEAUTIFUL RENDITION THAN ED'S VERSION OF "MAMLISH BLUES" FOUND ON THIS LP.  ITS ONE OF THE FINEST BLUES SIDES EVER RECORDED.   IN 1929 HARRY CHARLES GAVE BELL ANOTHER CHANCE AND THE RECORDING WAS A HIT SELLING 5000 COPIES.  THE DEPRESSION ENDED HIS SUCESS SHORTLY AFTER.  BELLS DISTINCT STYLE SETS HIM IN LINE WITH THE TOP TEAR OF EARLY BLUES MEN.  WOULD BE HARD TO CALL A BLUES COLLECTION COMPLETE WITHOUT THESE RECORDINGS.  THIS COPY COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL BOOKLET WITH GREAT TEXT BY STEPHEN CALT, DON KENT, MICHAEL STEWART.
