Synopsis

Album Description
Excellent 2009 collection. Fats Domino said no one better typified the New Orleans piano style than Huey Piano Smith. He was also one of R&B's great comedians, his best singles rivaled the Coasters for genial, goodtime humor, although his taste often ran more towards nonsense lyrics. 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'. For years, Huey Piano Smith lacked a comprehensive overview of his recording career, and no compilation ever appeared on CD in the United States until now! This 20 track collection features all of his hit singles for Ace plus several other singles and New Orleans staples.

Great Rock 'n Roll

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Huey Piano Smith has been one of my favorite artists since I was a boy and bought 45 RPM records with his hits current on the charts. That of course was in the mid fifties but time has been good for his music. It stays as good as ever, in my opinion. This collection is very comprehensive and includes many recordings I had never heard before, including his version of "Sea Cruise". I highly recommend this collection as it is a real buy."
