When in a conversation people talk about New Orleans blues, always comes out the name of Smoky Greenwell In fact Smoky began to play the harmonica in the seventies Since then on, he has always been present on stage supporting the most renowned blues musicians and artists He was also former member of War and he has often worked with Warren Haynes All the accumulated experience he has got through the years has allowed him to lead his own band making tours all over United States The album was recorded live at the Performing Arts Center of Old US Mint and basically includes songs that were previously recorded in studio along Smoky Greenwell’s career In every song Smoky appears as an expert harmonica player and singer but he also shows himself as a good tenor sax player The rest of the band musicians are Pete Bradish on drums, David Hyde on bass and Jack Kolb on guitar, plus a couple of guest musicians, Bruce Sunpie Barnes on accordion and vocals and Mark Pentone on guitar and vocals The repertoire is mainly original blues written by Smoky, Pentone and Barnes
