Melvin Smith was a key figure in post-war blues, bridging traditional Delta blues with the emerging electric sound of the 1950s. This comprehensive 2xCD collection traces Smith's development from raw blues troubadour to sophisticated rhythm and blues performer. His vocals carry genuine emotional weight, supported by straightforward but effective instrumentation - guitars that lock tight with drums and bass, creating propulsive grooves beneath Smith's conversational delivery. The recordings span his most creative period, capturing blues that feels lived-in rather than performed. For collectors of authentic post-war blues and anyone seeking musicians who bridged older traditions with modern sounds, this comprehensive survey is invaluable.
