Big Walter Horton with Carey Bell is an album by the American blues musicians Big Walter Horton and Carey Bell, recorded in Chicago in 1972 and released by the Alligator label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic reviewer, Bill Dahl, wrote, "The teacher/pupil angle might be a bit unwieldy here -- Bell was already a formidable harpist in his own right by 1972, when Horton made this album -- but there's no denying that a stylistic bond existed between the two. A highly showcase for the often recalcitrant harp master, and only his second domestic set as a leader."
