Little Smokey Smothers Second Time Around
Released: 1996 Label: Crosscut Records Format: Mp3@320  Little Smokey Smothers is one of the unsung Chicago South Side blues stalwarts, a respected musician who never found the national or international spotlight, but has made terrific, soulful blues in his hometown for fifty years. Albert Smothers was born on January 2, 1939 in Tchula, Mississippi. He began playing guitar at age 15 and soon headed for Chicago. Almost immediately upon arriving in Chicago, Little Smokey landed gigs with Arthur “Big Boy” Spires and pianist Lazy Bill Lucas. He played with Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, Earl Hooker and Paul Butterfield. He joined up with the great Howlin’ Wolf in 1958 and stayed with him for three years. Little Smokey can be heard on such classic Wolf recordings as “I’ve Been Abused,” “Howlin’ For My Darlin’” and “Mr. Airplane Man.” Smothers then formed his own band, Little Smokey Smothers and the Pipelayers, and gigged around Chicago at the Blue Flame, the Playhouse and Pepper’s Lounge. The band covered, in Smothers’ words, “nearly everything on the jukebox,” and they would often play behind big stars like Ben E. King when they performed at the famed Regal Theatre. Tracklist: 01.
