Notes
Jasmine continues their ever growing blues series with this excellent collection of recordings by the great New Orleans singer, Smiley Lewis and covers all his As & Bs for the Imperial label from 1950 to 1961. Features his hit songs, “The Bells Are Ringing”, “I Hear You Knocking” (later covered by Dave Edmonds), “One Night” (later covered by Elvis Presley) and “Please Listen To Me”. With 61 tracks across 2 discs you would be hard pushed to find a better collection of the sounds of New Orleans than these offerings from Smiley.
