Notes
Here is a tight and cohesive package featuring 28 classics of New Orleans R&B written and performed by the one and only Huey ‘Piano’ Smith whose keyboard techniques are a huge influence over a generation of New Orleans piano players and musicians headed by stars like Dr. John.
In a career that ran from the early ’50s to the late ’70s he recorded or wrote three undeniable rock and roll, rhythm and blues classics, ‘Rockin’ Pneumonia & The Boogie Woogie Flu’, ‘High Blood Pressure’ and ‘Don’t You Just Know It’ which all appear on this superb collection.
If you’re a fan of Allen Toussaint, Professor Longhair or Dr. John then this is definitely for you!
