Blues guitarist Byther Smith has been a fixture on the Chicago scene since the 1950s, backing the likes of Junior Wells and Otis Rush. When Smith began releasing solo albums in the 1980s, blues aficionados were treated to the real deal: Smith's s tough, uncompromising approach to the blues is pure, vintage Chicago. BLUES ON THE MOON is a live date, recorded at the Natural Rhythm Social Club on Chicago's South Side, and proves that Smith's music hasn't lost any muscle with age. Be prepared for a guitar-fueled, old-school blues beat down.

Professional Reviews

Dirty Linen (p.42) - "He churns out tough, grungy grooves on 'Give Up My Life for You'....Whatever the tune calls for -- chiseled, rocky funk, gritty, straightahead blues, or major shuffles -- Smith never lets up on the emotive throttle."

Living Blues (p.57) - "Smith, ever an intense bluesman, sings and plays with vigor belying his 75 years."
