Long before recording under his own name, Huey Smith backed the likes of Guitar Slim, Little Richard ('Tutti-Frutti'), Earl King ('Those Lonely, Lonely Nights') and Smiley Lewis ('I Hear You Knocking'). After forming The Clowns and commencing his own recording career in 1956, Huey continued playing sessions, backing Junior Gordon, Roland Cook, Jesse Allen, Benny Spellman, Bobby Marchan, Charles Brown, Amos Milburn, Jesse Thomas, Peg Leg Martin and Curley Moore all featured here. Also included is Huey & Gerri Hall's original recording of 'Sea Cruise', before the record company wiped their vocals and overdubbed Frankie Ford........
