Al Smyth--who is this man? Is he the Robert Plant, Keith Richards, Dr. John he conjures up on his balls-out new album of blues, moves and misty hops? Or is he simply the most talented white boy in Columbus to rechannel his blue-hearted influences? Yes, yes--I think I know now: he's that guy I saw at the 'Blues Garage' at the Community Festival, riveting my beer-fogged mind with a country-blues yowl worthy of Son House sittin' on a front porch in the Piedmont. This in the middle of the afternoon.
And yes, he's that guy I saw in the bar on a weeknight go from the south London blues of five thin British boys to a Johnny Winter growlin'-at-the-moon ode to rotten eggs with hot legs. And he was definitely the guy keeping all those boogie-hungry working men and women entertained enough they stayed out too late on a work night. No easy feat.
In the end, this shy phenomenon is just a guy named Al Smyth. He'll polka-dot your blues with enough personality to make you love the genre all over again. Welcome to the continuing story of Al Smyth, an evolution in progress.

Fantastic professional sounding recording. Covers a lot of bases.
