Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith & House Bumpers: Drop The Hammer

Kenny Smith mixes vintage blues sounds with modern moods as he plays drums and guitar as well with a cut and paste team of Billy Flynn-Guy King/g, Omar Coleman/harp, Luca Chiellini/org, Felton Crews/b and a collection of vocalists. The team gives Bo Diddly grooves on “What In The World” and a boogie shuffle to “Keep On Pretending.” You even get some kids joining in on the fun “Hey Daddy” and a soulful choir and bluesy organ for the title track. Smith shows how to boogaloo with a nice bass line and searing harp on “Scratchin’ Your Head” and is earthy on “Head  Pounder.” A wide collection of blues on the palate.
