This was in fact produced by Al Smith for the Bluesway label. But, after Al's untimely death, all his tapes -issued and unissued - have been taken by some of his associate to be issued on "new" labels. Unfortunately,only this Andrew Odom has seen the light of the day. The unissued tapes had complete sessions by floyd Jones, Littlejohn, Billy Boy Arnold, Big Joe Williams with different harp players (Carey Bell, Big Walter...) and many more. Unfortunately those tapes have disappeared and must lay somewhere in some vaults!
Thanks Xyros for everything you're doing for all the blues planet! In fact, I met Mr Al Smith in Europe during the AFBF 1968 tour and thereafter I had the opportunity to make a lengthy interview with Al during the summer of 1973. (Parts of this have been published in the Soul Bag magazine). Al had an ill reputation among the artists but I found him a very clever and articulate man loving very much the blues and trying to promote it worldwide. His mother managed a big roadhouse in Mississippi and young Al had the opportunity to know quite well some of the greatest bluesmen of this era. He was also a noted bandleader who recorded quite extensively jazz, blues and pop sides.

Thanks a million for putting this up! I've been wanting to hear it for years!
Thank you Gerard for the extra info on this release. Who knows the tapes might turn up one day on the tv show "Storage Wars".
