Notes:
First-time CD release of the very rare Smokey Wilson album recorded for Big Town in the late 70s. Wilson was the natural successor to Howling Wolf, with a similarly astonishing voice, who produced some of the finest blues of the 70s. When many were succumbing to the over-processed sounds of the day, Smokey was still down and dirty like good blues ought to be. Many of the tracks were speeded up in the original mix and these have been restored to the correct tempo of their recording. The legendary George ‘Harmonica’ Smith features on several tracks. Includes five previously unreleased tracks.
