Description:

An edited collection of important early works by the great New Orleans pianist. Huey "Piano" Smith, the master of New Orleans R&B. His sound, which encompassed jazz, boogie, R&B, R&R, and more, had a profound influence on New Orleans artists such as Dr. John. This is the memorable first album released in 1959 when he led the band. It is a masterpiece full of exciting numbers such as his masterpiece "HAVIN' A GOOD TIME" and "ROCKIN' PNEUMONIA AND THE BOOGIE WOOGIE FLU," which was later covered by Johnny Rivers and Aerosmith. Bonus tracks include 11 additional important songs that cannot be overlooked, including a single disc (B-side song) that was not included on the first album. For fans of the band, this is a must-have disc. Commentary: Akira Bunya
