– Ace is delighted to be able to bring you a further volume of this renowned Texas bluesman’s wonderful Modern and Combo recordings from the late 1940s and early 1950s.

– Recorded mostly in Los Angeles with small group accompaniment, this is classic small group rhythm and blues, enhanced by Smokey’s southern vocals and unique sense of timing.

– Of the 24 tracks, 10 are previously unissued in any shape or form while another is a previously-unheard alternate take.

– The cover design is an homage to the fabulous Crown album sleeves of the 1950s and the booklet features extensive discographical information.

-The perfect accompaniment to Ace’s other Smokey Hogg releases Deep Ellem Rambler” (CD CHD 780) and ”Serve It To The Right!” (CDCHD 866)
