GEORGE "HARMONICA" SMITHAND HIS BLUES BAND
He played in a number of bands including one with a young guitarist named Otis Rush,
and later went on the road with the Muddy Waters Band after replacing Henry Strong.
Smith traveled with Little Willie John and Champion Jack Dupree on one of the Universal Attractions tours.
While on the tour, he recorded with Champion Jack Dupree in November of 1955 in Cincinnati,
producing "Sharp Harp" and "Overhead Blues." In 1966, while Muddy Waters was on the West Coast,
he asked Smith to join him and they worked together for a while, recording for Spivey Records.
In 1969, Bob Thiele produced an excellent solo album of Smith on Bluesway, and later made use
of Smith as a sideman for his Blues Times label, including sets with T-Bone Walker and Harmonica Slim.
Smith met Rod Piazza, a young white harp player, and they formed the Southside Blues Band,
later known as Bacon Fat. In 1969, Smith signed with U.K.
producer Mike Vernon and did the No Time for Jive album.
