the result became a nationwide hit. █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ smith cut a few novelty numbers in an attempt to █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ duplicate the success of "rockin' pneumonia," some █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ even using the same type of illness joke █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ ("tu-ber-cu-lucas and the sinus blues," for example). █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ it didn't work, and marchan left the clowns after █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ scoring a solo hit with "there is something on your █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ mind" in 1960; he was replaced by female singer gerry █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ hall and male vocalist curley moore. smith switched █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ briefly to the imperial label, then returned to ace █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ for one last chart single in 1962, "pop eye." smith █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ spent part of the '60s recording for instant and █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ touring not only with the clowns, but alternate █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ groups the hueys and the pitter pats as well. unable █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ to return to the charts, he eventually converted to █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ the jehovah's witnesses and left the music industry █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ permanently. █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ next to professor longhair and fats domino, no one █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ better typified the new orleans piano style than the █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ work of huey "piano" smith. this 24-track, █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ single-disc compilation is the first proposed █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ installment of huey and the clowns' tenure with the █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ jackson, mississippi-based ace label, home to his █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ biggest hits. kicking off with parts one and two of █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ his first hit, "rockin' pneumonia and the boogie █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ woogie flu" (although the second part used here seems █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ one overdub away from the single version issued), █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ more obscure but equally worthwhile items like █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ "little liza jane," "just a lonely clown," "would you █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ believe it (i have a cold)" and "she got low down" █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ sit comfortably next to the hits ("high blood █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ pressure," "don't you just know it," "tu-ber-cu-lucas █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ and the sinus blues," "don't you know yockomo" and █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ "pop-eye"), making this volume a perfect introduction █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ to the music of this crescent city genius. transfers █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ are as crisp as you could ask for, and the packaging █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ and liner notes are equally fine. █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey_Piano_Smith █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ █░▓█ █ █ █▓░█ enjoy and support the artist. █░▓█ █ █ ████ ████ █ █▄▄▄ ▀ ░ ░ ▀ ▄▄▄█ █ ▀█ ▒ ▒ █▀ █ ▒ █ ▀█ ▄▓░ ░▓▄ █▀ █ ▒ ▓ █▄ █ █▓▒░ ██▀▀ ██▀█ ██▀▀ ██▀▀ ▀██▀ ██▀▀ ░▒▓█ █ ▄█ ▓ █▄ █▄ █ ▓▓▒▒░░░ ██ █ ██▄▀ ██▀ ██▀ ██ ▀▀▀█ ░░░▒▒▓▓ █ ▄█ ▄█ █▄ █▄█ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▓███ ▓█ █ ▓███ ▓███ ▓█ ▓███ ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █▄█ ▄█ █ ▀█ █▀ █ ██▄ All the siteops that host us... ▄██ ██▄ ▄██ ░ █▓█▄ ▄█▓█ ░ ▒ █▓▓█ █▓▓█ ▒ ▓ ▀█▒█▄ ░ ░ ▄█▒█▀ ▓ ▓█ █▓░█ ▒ ▒ █░▓█ █▓ █ ▀███ ▓░ ░▓ ███▀ █ ▀█▄▄ ▀ █▓░ ██▀▀ ██▀█ █▄ █ ████ ██▀█ ██▀▀ ████ ░▓█ ▀ ▄▄█▀ ░ █ ▀█ ▀█▓▒░░░ ██ ██ █ ████ ██ ██▄█ ██ ██ ░░░▒▓█▀ █▀ █ ░ ▒ █ ▀█ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▓███ ▓███ ▓█ █ ▓█ ▓█ █ ▓███ ▓█ ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █▀ █ ▒ ▓ █▄ █ █ ▄█ ▓ █ ▀█ ░ WEB: http://www.never-ever.com ░ █▀ █ ██▄ ▒▒ ▒▒ ▄██ ░ █▓█▄ ▓▓░ We're always looking for skilled rippers! ░▓▓ ▄█▓█ ░ ▒ █▓▓█ ██▓░ Use one of the contact methods above to apply ;) ░▓██ █▓▓█ ▒ ▒ █▓▓█ ██▓░ ░▓██ █▓▓█ ▒ ▓ ▀█▒█▄ █▓▒░░░ ░░ ░ ▄ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ ░ ░░ ░░▒▓█ ▄█▒█▀ ▓ ▓█ █▓░█▄ ▀ ▀▀█▄ ▀ ▄█░▓█ █▓ █ ▀███▓█████▄▄▄▄▓▄▄▓▓▓▄▄▓▓▄▄▓▄▄▄ ASCii █▄▄▓▄▄▄▓▓▄▄▄▓▄▄██▄▄█████▓███▀ █ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀██████████████████ By ████████████▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄▄█▀ ▀█ AyLieN ▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀
