"Somethin' Smith & The Redheads were really popular in the mid to late fifties. Every selection is a razzle dazzle sing along song fest from the Pop Fifties. It's a wonderful experience to hear once again.
Somthin' Smith was a Norfolk, Virginia boy, who had an interest in music early in his life. He studied the banjo as a child. During his four year stint in the Navy he played in Navy bands and orchestras. And later became an Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts Winner. He later formed Somthin' Smith and The Redheads with cohorts Saul Striks and Major Short while attending UCLA.
This release features some really well produced tunes from two of the groups best EPIC issues. "Shanty In Old Shanty Town" is excellent. "Put The Blame On Mame" is fabulous. In fact, it's very refreshing to hear this kind of "POP" music once again.
This is a classic from some very talented fellows."
