The Essential Gordon Smith

Described by John Peel as "The foremost white Blues guitarist in the world", Gordon Smith is also one of the country's greatest Blues vocalists. His 1968 debut album 'Long Overdue' was produced by Mike Vernon for the legendary Blue Horizon label, and featured members of Fleetwood Mac, including Peter Green. For years this album has been a collector's classic, but it is now due to be re-released by Mike Vernon along with other vintage Blue Horizon recordings. During the 70's, Gordon was a member of 'The Kevin Coyne Band' with whom he recorded several albums for Virgin, as well as a couple of his own for the Italian label Appaloosa, and in the 90's a solo country Blues album 'Out of the Bottleneck'. Gordon is now back with these brand-new recordings made for Note Records, on which he is accompanied by some of London's finest Blues musicians. These tracks reflect his passion for both country and electric traditions, and really are 'Essential' for all lovers of quality Blues.
