SMOKEY WOOD

cover.jpg

John Bryce Wood got the nickname Smokey because he always smoked weed and that kind of stuff. He even would pop it right there on the stand - it didn't made no difference where they were. He lit 'em on both ends and smoked 'em in the middle. They bought that stuff by the pound, two pounds, whatever. Even grew some for awhile there, between the signboards right off Main Street in Houston, Texas. Had about twenty, thirty stalks growing.

Ha, so you made that discovery - about a quarter century after the release of that Rambler LP!

Great stuff for those who are prepared to look beyond the bounds of usual 30s swing and jazz. This is ONE area where open-minded listeners will see how stylistic boundaries were defied and "crossover" music was made (in a VERY authentic way) decades before that term came into use.

Enjoy!
