Free Music Review: Historic New Orleans Recordings
Hit: 4 Stars
This first volume compilation of Huey 'Piano' Smith and his Clowns is now difficult to get hold off. Its worth the effort though if you are a fan of New Orleans music from 1957 to 1960.
Kicking off with the rightly famous "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" we get to hear both the vocal version and the instrumental versions. Huey Smith wrote a number of other classic tracks of which perhaps the best known are "Little Liza Jane" and "High Blood Pressure".
The backing of the Clowns is fabulous as you would expect, as it contained many well known New Orleans musicians.
My only slight surprise after getting this album was that although Huey Smith is well known as a Piano player, the Piano isn't actually featured that much, and tends to be buried underneath the band (still audible but low in the mix a lot of the time), and Smith rarely plays solos. This is a minor reservation but if you were expecting a recording along the lines of Prof Longhair or Dr John you might be disappointed.
