New Orleans 1 : Huey "Piano" Smith

I first became aware of Huey Smith when I bought Dr John's Gumbo album on a recommendation from Dave and Wynnis (sp?) from Everyman Records in Nelson.  The album was the good doctor's first tribute album to his hometown and contained a medley of Huey Smith songs.  20 years later, with the CD re-release boom in full swing I finally managed to get a copy of this greatest hits collection.

Some terrific old New Orleans' boogie on this including the hits High Blood Pressure and Don't you know Yockomo and Little Liza Jane.
