Excellent British bluesman with a long wide music career in his back, totally consolidated with endless shows in bars, pubs and taverns around United Kingdom and many European countries For recording this new album, Gordon Smith has recruited a bunch of good British musicians, such as Dino Cocia on drums and percussion, Alan Glen and Wust Weston on harp –who plays piano together with Bob Adheri-, Bernie Pallo on accordion, John O’Reilly on guitar and the bass players Jim Mercer, Rod Demick, Jim Ydstie and Lakis Economou All them give the perfect support to this restrained well qualified album of pure explosive blues, performed with passion, feeling and devotion to this musical style few artists nowadays posess The blues appears and flows in every single note Gordon Smith and his musicians play, not only in their own songs (Ladybird, Hey Renes, Rev-ing Up), but also in versions of classic songs coming from Muddy Waters, Lery Carr, Robert Lockwood Jr, Lowell Fulson, Sleepy John Estes or Reverend Gary Davis among others In short words here comes an album conceived under the basis of deep love to the blues
