▓█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █▓
█ █▓░█ huey "piano" smith was an important part of the great █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ new orleans piano tradition, following in the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ footsteps of professor longhair and fats domino to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ take his place among the crescent city's r&b elite. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ he was also one of r&b's great comedians, his best █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ singles matching the coasters for genial, good-time █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ humor, although his taste often ran more towards █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ nonsense lyrics. smith's sound was too earthy to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ match the pop crossover appeal of domino or the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ coasters, which limited his exposure, and he couldn't █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ match the latter's amazing consistency, lacking their █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ reliable supply of material. but at the peak of his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ game, smith epitomized new orleans r&b at its most █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ infectious and rollicking, as showcased on his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ classic signature tune "rockin' pneumonia and the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ boogie woogie flu." █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ huey smith was born in new orleans on january 26, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 1934, and began playing the piano at age 15. at the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ dawn of the '50s, smith backed new orleans guitar █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ legends earl king and guitar slim, and quickly became █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a popular session pianist, playing on records by the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ cream of the new orleans r&b scene: smiley lewis (the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ classic "i hear you knockin'"), lloyd price, and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ little richard. during the mid-'50s, smith began █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ leading his own band, the clowns, which usually █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ featured popular local blues singer and female █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ impersonator bobby marchan on lead vocals. smith & █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the clowns signed with the ace label and scored a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ breakout top five r&b hit in 1957 with "rockin' █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu," which despite █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ becoming a classic rock & roll standard didn't even █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ make the pop top 40, thanks to reticent white radio █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ programmers. the following year, smith scored his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ biggest hit with the double-sided smash "don't you █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ just know it"/"high blood pressure," which reached █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the pop top ten and the r&b top five. in 1959, smith █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ cut the original tune "sea cruise," and seeking pop █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ radio airplay, ace had white teenage r&b singer █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ frankie ford overdub his own vocal onto smith's █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ backing track; the result became a nationwide hit. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ smith cut a few novelty numbers in an attempt to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ duplicate the success of "rockin' pneumonia," some █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ even using the same type of illness joke █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ ("tu-ber-cu-lucas and the sinus blues," for example). █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ it didn't work, and marchan left the clowns after █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ scoring a solo hit with "there is something on your █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ mind" in 1960; he was replaced by female singer gerry █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ hall and male vocalist curley moore. smith switched █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ briefly to the imperial label, then returned to ace █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ for one last chart single in 1962, "pop eye." smith █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ spent part of the '60s recording for instant and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ touring not only with the clowns, but alternate █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ groups the hueys and the pitter pats as well. unable █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ to return to the charts, he eventually converted to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the jehovah's witnesses and left the music industry █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ permanently. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ next to professor longhair and fats domino, no one █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ better typified the new orleans piano style than the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ work of huey "piano" smith. this 24-track, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ single-disc compilation is the first proposed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ installment of huey and the clowns' tenure with the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ jackson, mississippi-based ace label, home to his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ biggest hits. kicking off with parts one and two of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ his first hit, "rockin' pneumonia and the boogie █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ woogie flu" (although the second part used here seems █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ one overdub away from the single version issued), █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ more obscure but equally worthwhile items like █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ "little liza jane," "just a lonely clown," "would you █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ believe it (i have a cold)" and "she got low down" █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sit comfortably next to the hits ("high blood █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ pressure," "don't you just know it," "tu-ber-cu-lucas █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and the sinus blues," "don't you know yockomo" and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ "pop-eye"), making this volume a perfect introduction █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ to the music of this crescent city genius. transfers █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ are as crisp as you could ask for, and the packaging █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and liner notes are equally fine. █░▓█ █
