Blues / Electric Blues / Harmonica Blues / Juke Joint Blues / West Coast Blues
Reissue of the first full length album recorded by this great West Coast harmonica player for the World Pacific label in 1968 with three bonus cuts. Most of the disc consists of George singing or playing some of the best sides recorded by the great Little Walter who had died shortly before these recordings. On this session he is accompanied by members of the Muddy Waters band who were touring the West Coast at the time with Muddy & Luther Johnson on guitars, Little Sonny Wimberly on bass and S.P. Leary on drums. Although George's performance are splendid they are close enough to the originals that one can't but help making comparisons with the originals and these performances come off second. In spite of the lineup the backup seems a bit stodgy - probably the result of too little rehearsal. The best track here is the only non Walter song West Helena Blues - a song that George had been performing for a number of years. The bonus cuts include two more Walter songs and a version of Love With A Feeling sung by Lucille at the same sessions but without George on harp. Not a bad album but not as good as it looks at first glance. –FS, Roots & Rhythm
George "Harmonica" Smith is one of the underappreciated masters of the instrument. The talented harpist played with Muddy Waters in both the 1950s and the '60s; played with the band Bacon Fat, where he mentored harpist Rod Piazza; and backed up Big Mama Thornton for a number of years before his death in 1983. Originally released in 1969, Blues With A Feeling was a tribute to the genius that was Little Walter, a major influence on Smith. Backed by a band that included guitarists Waters and Luther Johnson, and pianist Otis Spann, Smith roars through these tracks like a freight train. Recommended! –Reverend Keith A. Gordon, About.com
George "Harmonica" Smith first LP, a fine tribute to Little Walter.
