艺人介绍

by Bill DahlBlessed with a lush, deeply burnished baritone thats seemingly the antithesis of the rough-hewn Chicago blues sound, Barkin Bill Smith finally broke through in 1994 with his own debut album for Delmark. Influenced by the likes of Joe Williams (Count Basies smooth crooner, not the gruff nine-string guitarist), Brook Benton, and Jimmy Witherspoon, the natty dresser grew up in Mississippi and stopped off to sing in East St. Louis and Detroit before settling in the Windy City. Slide guitarist Homesick James anointed Smith with his enduring stage handle in 1958 when the two shared a stage. After scuffling for decades on the South and West sides, Smith finally hooked up with young guitarist Dave Specter & the Bluebirds and made his recorded debut on the bands 1991 Delmark release, Bluebird Blues. After leaving Specters employ, Smiths own album bow, Gotcha!, emerged three years later.
