Ed Bell (May 1905 – 1960, 1965 or 1966) was an American Piedmont and country blues singer, guitarist and songwriter. Some of his records were released under pseudonyms, such as Sluefoot Joe, and Barefoot Bill from Alabama. The same person connection between all three names has only recently been verified by historians. His best remembered recording was "Mamlish Blues".Colin Larkin noted in the Encyclopedia of Popular Music that "Bell stands as the most influential Alabama artist in pre-war blues recordings."
