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 & 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.
