"The swampy blues of the title track chugs along with the yearning feeling of being so close to being up after having been down so long; it’s a haunting song. Bell’s raw and emotional “When I Stop Loving You,” which he co-wrote with Larry Campbell, conveys the ache of what happens the moment love dies (“my heart will beat no more”).
Every song on One Day Closer to Home is a winner, and Bell’s silky vocals define soul. Bell inhabits a song deeply and delivers it with emotional tenderness and fire. It’s a treat to have a new album from the master." READ FULL REVIEW
