Details:
Smiley Lewis hit New Orleans in his teens as a member of Tuts Washington's popular club combo. After a false start with a local label, Bartholemew got the booming-voiced guitar slinger in at Imperial Records, where Dave's other client Fats Domino was already gearing up for decades of hits. Lewis started his own run of hits almost from day one, building up to the timeless I Hear You Knocking, which no cover version from that day to this has ever really touched. Masters of New Orleans rockin' r&b such as Huey Smith, saxists Lee Allen, Clarence Hall, and Herb Hardesty played on Smiley's sessions, which makes every one of them as exciting as can be. As a songwriter, Lewis scored with Blue Monday (a hit for both himself and Fats Domino) and the very naughty One Night, cleaned up into a mighty mega-hit by prominent Smiley Lewis fan Evis (Elvis' non-cleaned up take surfaced in the 1970s, and WHOA!) His blistering Shame, Shame, Shame was on the soundtrack of controversial Hollywood movie "Baby Doll" too...

Wonderfully remastered in full-on RevOla style... lovely packaging, complete with rare memorabilia and detailed notes.

A must for all devotees of mighty, rockin 1950s New Orleans r&b.

Smiley Lewis' place in the pantheon of rockin' r&b is assured!
